how would i be able to do this same sort of thing without having rings?
I just made the whole thing for about $30. You can get luggage or climbing straps (both are rated over 1400 lbs so they're pretty strong) from REI (adjustable buckles included). Then go to Home Depot and get a 24" m-e-t-a-l rod for $3, saw it into 2 6" sections. Cut off some heavy duty rope (or cut some from the straps if you have enough to spare). Tie some loop knots around the rods and you got yourself a heavy duty handle bars. Wrap some tape on the rods and you're all set. The only skill required is tying some good knots (loops, bends) which you can get plenty of info online.
