Agreed, however a flat bar with aerobars is also a viable option. Both of my hybrids make use of these as it provides more positions for your hands. Only downfall (which one can adapt to) is proximity to the brakes, whereas drops keep you close to the brakes in those hairy situations. Areos are so comfy, one could almost fall asleep
