i have a 7-speed schwinn hybrid bike and i was wondering if i could just take it into a bike shop and ask for them to put bull horn handlebars on it. if so, how much would this cost? thanks.
Answer
Bar ends make more sense.
Get all the benefits of bull horns without the hassle of having to transfer all your gear if you could.

What does a person look like when on a hybrid bike?

I'm thinking about getting a hybrid bike but it's supposedly more upright than a road bike. I would be using the bike to ride on the road but sometimes when people sit more upright, it look sort of weird. Is it possible to be more haunched over?
Answer
To make it more aerodynamic on a upright/hybrid, you can bend your elbows and grab the middle of the handlebar. That means you will move away from the breaks. Also, with the bended elbows you don't have as good control of the bike
Another adjustment is stem. Go to your LBS and have they find you a longer stem. A stem that's 1 cm longer will make you reach 1 cm forward and have a lower angle. Going to a bigger frame size will have a similar effect.
I don't recommend any of these though.
From what I read, the "cool" factor seems to be more of your concern. There are some well-designed upright-bikes by companies like Trek, Fuji, Specialized, etc. that are quite stylish and with good speed. I think you will find one you like there.
I ride on a road bike when I need the speed, particularly if I ride with a group. But I still use my upright Trek FX 7.1 for weekend relaxed rides from time to time.
Whether it's a road bike or hybrid, have your bike fit correctly, ride with a good posture, with efficient power transfer during pedaling. You will fall in love with it in no time.
