A handle rusted off :(
OP, were you standing naked in your bathroom when you took this picture?
Error: bicycle has had an unhandled exception
Stop submerging your bike in hydrochloric acid or brine

DON’T PUT YOUR DICK IN IT!!!
At least not before getting a tetanus shot.
Jokes aside, my favorite part about bikes is that they’re super easy and (relatively) cheap to fix.
You should be good picking up a simple little tool kit, some penetrating WD40, a new handle bar, and some new grips and you should be good to go.
I wish you the best of luck friend and to have a blast with more rides in the near future.
Thanks man. Unfortunately the handlebar wasn’t the only thing that rusted off or otherwise broke. RIP the bike I used when I was a younger and more hopeful person.
You have to abuse a bike pretty damn badly for it to truly be unsalvageable. Either you’re too lazy to fix a fixable bike or you were so lazy you neglected the poor thing to death, so either way, that’s on you.
In my defence, I live close to the shore and pretty much anything rusts pretty quick. I could’ve taken better care of my bike though, you’re right.
