And that pretty much ruined the rest of my ride!

So, I don't know. Maybe I should give drop bars - and drop-bar levers, maybe even brifters - another chance! And I say this even though I'm not doing too well on the weight loss front (more than anything, I think I may be sabotaging my own hard work!)

What I really need right now is some help (over)thinking this!
