Welcome Andy from a fellow 2013 owner. I see that the constituency is already urging you to purchase the requisite bits of handlebar rubber.
You know what? I actually would like a pickle.

Beautiful '13 Andy. Welcome to the forum. As they say, "Keep the shiny side up and the rubber on the road." Especially when pushing it on gravel.
There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.

I spent a long and murky time googling "rubber end things" but I got some - how do they look?

Looks good, but a little baggy. Hit it with a heat gun, shrink 'em up a bit and they'll do fine!

Welcome! I have a similar driveway and it kinda sucks to push the bike around. But boy-o-boy, you can really leave a rooster tail when you depart!
Been around longer than that!
