In my opinion, TRACK DROPS are impractical for city riding. Narrow flats or risers are fine. I use narrow straight bars with short bar ends on one of my bikes. But by far, my favorite are classic round drops like these: http://store.velo-orange.com/index.p...ound-bend.html

Multiple hand positions, comfort, narrow. If you ride above 20 mph or 32 kph, you will want to achieve a more aerodynamic position. This can be achieved by riding in the drops or on the flats of any bike by using a modified Obree-position like so:



This position also helps a lot in the wind.
