It's not necessary to ride in the drops "as much as you can stand". Even the hoods on a properly-fitted drop bar roadie are an improvement on the typical hybrid/flat-bar roadie riding position (of course
almost any riding position, including recumbent, is an improvement on the typical hybrid riding position).
