Clips to hold your shopping bags. Apparently it's safer than just putting them on the bars.

I think that's a pretty good idea actually... though it does depend on you having two bags I think??

4 bags as far as I can tell and I don't see how it's any better than putting it at the end of the grips yourself

The brake levers are not level and reflector is pointed left...not sure how you'd change gear either, as no shifters

Oh, and it's a stuuuuuupid idea

They should come with guards to stop the bag buzzing into the wheel when turning & putting a hole in it.

Quite like the idea, but not sure about the practice of carrying shopping on handlebars from a safety point of view.

... and it's not even April the first?

Turn corner, bag goes into front wheel and jams against the fork... over the bars and under the bus. The poor bereaved family will rightly sue their ass for such a dumb idea!

I managed to snap the carbon fork on my brothers road bike a while back.

Was riding down the street with a suit carrier bag on the bars, it got snagged in front wheel and acted like a very very good brake..
