It wasn't on these. But you could easily zip-tie them in place if you wanted.

The upside of the current design is you can remove the handles completely off the bars. That allows you to run whatever handles, brake levers, and shifters you want. Since they don't run through the bars, the bars don't care what you use. Sure, you get a couple of exposed cables when they are folded out to the sides, but it doesn't matter because you are sitting upright anyway.

If these were on the market, I'd put them on my road bike for sure. I love the bullhorn look when you're just cruising. And then you want to go aero, just snap them forward.

There's also a simplicity/minimalist thing about them. You get both types of bars in one, but the other type is always missing at the moment. It made the bike look and feel lighter and more elegant to not have as much junk hanging off the front end like a triceratops.
