Honestly though, I run risers on my bicycle because it is a commuter. So for everyone going, "LOL HYBRID", yeah. Upright position, comfort, etc... I have never been on a ride where I thought to myself, "Now I wish I could get real low and aero", those situations just never happen. Risers v. Flats? I've got my steerer cut and don't want to buy a new stem with positive rise. Bicycle co-op steel risers were the perfect solution for getting a little higher up front.
