I spent decades riding drop bars. Now they just annoy me.

For the last 5 years or so, I've divided my roughly 15 hours of riding per week between a hybrid with flat bars plus add-on aero bars and a fixed-gear bike with bullhorns bars plus aero bars.

Unexpected advantages of the flat-bar bike: it's not only more comfortable than my drop-bar bikes and safer in traffic but also faster, thanks to the aero bars. Meanwhile, the drop-bar bikes have been just sitting around collecting dust.
