I never said I don't like them. I said I don't get them, and I'm curious. I'm hearing people out, and some of their thoughts actually make me want to play around with a few concepts. I like drops, sure, but not exclusively. I haven't been so shallow as to say that drops are the only option, and I don't run only drops. This isn't a thread about what I like, it's about what others like, and why.

So you do more turning with the handlebars instead of leaning, which makes sense when dodging cars. At low speeds in heavy traffic, flat bars / riser bars give you nice leverage for swinging your front wheel around bumpers. I can totally see that, thank you!

Also, you're saying you'd rather have riser bars for the height as oppose to a longer steering tube for drops, which makes a ton of sense. Thanks for your comments.

Yeah, track bars on the street make zero sense to me other than style. They don't open up new tricks on your bike, they don't offer improved ergonomics or comfort, they don't let you dodge around traffic more easily... If you're racing on a track and will be going fast in your drops only, then they make sense, but I can't see them being correct for street use...

This isn't news. I know that. I want to know why it feels good to them. I'm not here to say my way is the only way, or that your way sucks. I don't feel that. I'm looking for more in-depth answers.
