I got a question for people on here about this as well. I hadn't thought about riding in winter yet but seeing this thread, I've started to wonder. Is it possible to install wind deflectors onto the handlebar of bikes like I've seen on motorcycles?
I know it's easier to use a glove, but if it's part of the bike, I don't have to worry about bring it if it rains/gets cold and not having gloves with me. I have shifters on the stem so I don't have anything on the handlebar to get in the way, except for the brakes but I could probably fit it under the deflector.
Would I get laughed at if I tried this? Not that I care but I'm wondering why I haven't see anyone do this if it seems like a good idea. I see mud deflectors for the chain/tires but none on the handlebars yet. I'd like to have it for rocks too if that happens to hit my hand.
seems like it would be good for mountain bikes too, if people ride through low brush?
edit: In a month or so, maybe in December when I have time off. I'll try to find something to do this and try it out. I want to learn to ride bike without anything to interfere with it. So I'll do this when I add fenders/racks at the later time. 3 modifications planned for bike already :) I hope I'm not weighing too much on it
