Which is why you might want to figure out a way to tuck them out of the
way when you don't need them. I have water bottle loops on my shoulder
straps. At any time I could easily collapse the poles (or not), tuck the
ends under a shoulder strap, and put the handles into a water bottle
loop on the same shoulder strap. I can do this without breaking pace,
and I can pull them out just as easily when I want them again.
