I just got a drop bar bike after 8 years of riding upright. I still am not used to them. I think I need to lose some weight, for one thing. Also, it's still pretty cold here and I'm wearing a lot of bulky clothing.
I'm finding that I can't stay in the drops very long, I'm on the hoods most of the time, and it puts a lot of pressure on my hands that I'm not used to. I suspect I'll get used to it.
