Yes, trips are WAY up in the USA.

I can understand how to you it may seem bar heights are down and frames smaller, and why you might assign those factors causation for complaints, but I would challenge the veracity of all those assumptions. Are bar heights generally lower? Are people generally riding smaller frames? Do smaller frames cause discomfort? I just don't know if any of that is true, and to the extent we do see lower bars amongst the roadie set, whether it's statistically meaningful.
