Im rarely on the forums. when Im bored at work. Ive noticed alot of flat bar/ riser haters. Hate on the hipsters not the bars. Risers are much more comfortable (FOR ME, and many others) as well as allow much more control than track drops. I cant help but laugh whenever I see kids riding in the drops. Although its completely impractical to me, im not going to say that drops are pointless in urban environments. Haters hate on. . .
