I admin I spend almost all my time on the hoods, but I can move my hands back and forth a bit. I only use the drops occasionally for a fast decent or big headwind.

While on a MUP I might hold the bar a bit for a different position. I have debated getting a set of interrupters (cross brakes) on my new commuter when I get it so that I can ride and still brake in this more upright position - mostly would use when weaving through tourists in the summer. Curious if anyone has experience with these and if they impact overall brake performance or feel.
