Heh, I forgot some people push their bikes by the handlebars. Please don't. Push from the saddle, steer by leaning :) 5 minutes practice and you end up with more control and your legs away from the pedals...
And when you get home, ditch the adaptor and get a quill stem. It will do +++ for the appearance of the bike. :)
It'll mean you'll need classic diameter bars (25.4 or 26mm. Pay attention when you get the stem, you can't see the difference by eye). I find deda piegas are cheap and good 26mm option, though handbar shape is obvs pretty personal.
