There's no way your personal preference based on experience could be correct vs. wild conjecture and bizarre conspiracy theories on the internet! The *only* possible explanation for why you dislike flat bars is that you've been DUPED by the EVIL RACING ORIENTED BICYCLE OVERLORDS! something something "marketing" something something "dismiss everyone who is faster than me as posers" something.
I guess I should do the /sarcasm because BF seems a place where context goes to die.
