I can't ride in the drops for too long before my back stars to hurt on one of my bikes because my stem has too low of a drop (gotta get a new stem : /). So I put riders on this bike for the time being. I can't use the risers for training rides/long rides because of the limited hand positions on the risers.

However on my other bike, the stem is level and fits me a lot better. When riding 30-40+ miles at a time, I like to stay in the drops most of the time on this bike because it feels better, and gives me and easier time through wind and such. I also feel like I push myself harder when in the drops, so I like to stay in them to get a better ride in.

Drops are so ftw.
