It is so incredibly uncomfortable!
The brake levers are impossible to reach at this angle.
The bar tops make my wrists go numb.
The bar sides make my fingers tingle.
The drops are too far away and I'm certain to slide off the saddle, landing on the top bar!

But for some reason I ride all my road bikes set up like this. I thought this was how they were supposed to set up! After all these years of riding, I finally discover why I am so uncomfortable and have endured all this pain and torture for thousands of miles each year!
How did I not know this after almost five decades of riding a bicycle equipped with drop bars!

I feel so stupid, so lame, so betrayed by my LBS, manufacturers, and the cycling community in general. I think I'll just give up riding altogether. Here are a few Cannondales anyone can have if they want to just come by and pick them up and correct the position of the bars. I'm swearing off riding a bicycle for the rest of my life!
