Some people choose flat bars and I believe it is a reasonable choice, even for experienced, "serious" riders. I understand that you feel differently on the subject. I have only defended the freedom of choice. You and Colin disparage those of us who have made a choice different from your choice. I have never criticized those who prefer the drop bars and the wonderful myriad of hand positions they offer. I have simply tried to open your minds a little bit, but it's a lost cause.

Yes many people use drop bars. I don't know that was ever in question.
