I know aerobars aren't ideal for a hybrid bike like my Roam 2, but anything where I can rest them while still peddling away can't be bad, right?
I've put the aero bars on my cheapo hybrid a number of times and rode with the 20mph+ average guys for rides of 40+ miles. Have ridden the hybrid to 60 miles without the aero bars and sure would have liked to have had them on at that time.
