Bar End Plugs With Vintage Flair

After you’ve rung in 2013 and sipped the last bit of bubbly from your flute, hang onto the Champagne corks. As shown above, you can give them a second life as handlebar end plugs, adding an elegant hint of vintage flair to your drop bars. Whittling the corks down with a penknife for the proper fit? It’s a contemplative pursuit that’ll help you meditate on your resolutions.

Happy New Year, with warm thanks for reading, and best wishes for miles of JOYful and safe cycling in 2013!
