I've often wondered why people resist the idea of installing full-length aero bars on their bikes. I have them on a half-dozen of my bikes, including those with flat bars and those with drop bars.

Other than in traffic, I do about 75 percent of my riding in the aero position. The fact that I'm faster in that position is secondary - the comfort of resting my upper body weight on the elbow pads is what keeps me using them.
