Then I moved the CA, and it seems like every other bike is a TT bike, and every 5th bike is a Cervelo. There are also actually enough cyclists around that it seems like a common activity, unlike other places I've lived where the sight of someone training on a bike makes you think "that's pretty rare!"
So true. I've seen a couple TT folks in MD, but when I went to CA on vacation there were tons of them, even saw a group ride of 6 guys in TT bikes. Awesome.
I think a TT bike could be set up very comfortably with aerobars, especially if you like an "up and out" position on the road bike (typified by a long stem flipped up).
