Just because you have drop bars does not mean you have to actually ride in the drops. I spend most of my time on the top flat part and sometimes on the hoods. These positions give me a better view of traffic and makes me more visible to cars as well. I ride in the drops for sprinting when I don't have to worry about being killed by a bus and for climbing hills.
