Just saying it would be unusual as the OP himself alluded to, but I think it is a good idea for the OP until he can get a road bike.
Some people, like me, do not have the option of a roadbike.
I have a double hernia in both my back and my neck ... I can hardly move my left arm as I am typing this and will probably have to take a muscle relaxant very soon to reduce the pain and throbbing headache.
I simply can not ride a bike if the saddle is higher than the handlebar.
Therefore ... I have concocted myself a nice combination of a 30 degree stem, a flat handlebar, barends and an aerobar.
Using this combination I manage to maintain a speed of 30 miles per hour for about one mile on a flat road ... on a hybrid bike
