For my next trick, we're contemplating getting some studded tyres for the tandem so my sight impaired cycling buddy (she is as nuts as me ) & I can carry on riding if/when it turns icy!
Rick.

That's what someone says every year.

My past try at a chin-up was 1,nearly 2!

Do any of these systems tip the bike forward and back according to the gradient/load?
Do any let you honk up the hills with a realistic motion of the handlebars and leaning of the bike?

They look like the most stupid design ever, to me. The point of the architrave is to cover the join between plaster and frame, it has no structural purpose at all. You can't tell what it's fixed with or to. In these days of no-nails glue and suchlike that may be the only thing holding it.
But lots of them seem to be advertised, so maybe nobody has broken their back using one. Yet.
I daresay if it's going to tear the architrave off, yours would have done so already, so it must be secure.
Probably.
