Incidentally, you may also find more of a speed increase if your pedaling technique has room for refinment like mine.
I was reading a cycling book and it occured to me that I use the pull up method rather than the pull back halfway through the downstroke method. AKA the wiping dog poo off the bottom of your shoe method.
I gained at least 1mph by switching.
I love the drops. Just can't stay in them very long since my back hates that position. Using the hoods works much better for me. Plus, our MUPs have been very busy lately. I can see better using the hoods and I feel more comfortable in traffic.
