Been using drop bars since I got a Schwinn Varsity when I was about 12 or so, so that's all I know. I did use clip-ons for a while, but not now. I did borrow a friend's hybrid and found it was killing my hands/wrists. Also saw no advantage to the shifters. I suppose I could get used to it in time, but see no reason to do so. But that's just me.
