Back in the day I was quite the mountain biker. Those days have passed. I, however, am not quite ready to ride on this Mary Poppinsish bike I bought.

I bought an inexpensive Marin bike that appears to be a hybrid between road and dirt. I was getting the kids bikes and didn't really test it out so didn't realize how upright I am on it. Noticed the handlebars are sort of long and flared up. Can I simply swap out the handlebars and how hard is that? I saw several straight handlebars on ebay for little money. Is this a no brainer? All the shifters etc just bolt on right? This will be used for riding w/kids and wife and maybe a jaunt off the road occasionally but nothing serious.

TIA

Joe
