Thinking of these for my S5 but they may be to Fred?

You're already on the S5. If you can't back it up with your riding then you've already gone too far so might as well go all the way

You can't use them in the club, don't use them at all.
Most importantly, don't look like a triathlete. |
Clubs ban aero bars because of safety with group rides. These are drops that you run normal brifters on so I don't see how anyone could tell you you can't use them
|
Clubs can set any rules they like. If you don't like them, then don't join.
Aero bars are for TTs where you don't ride in groups. Being on the bars with people around you and on less then ideal roads can cause you to have control issues and take someone down with you. It's totally different when you're on the road by yourself and have a clear view of the conditions and surface. BTW... I assume a Cervelo S5 and not a Trek Emonda S5. |

they'd be safer than riding invisible aero bars which is common.

Your supposed to ride around the potholes not through them :) You would only rest your arms on those bars when you're out front.
Aero bars are fine if you ride solo... or maybe very small groups. You just don't have the same control as with drop bars. |
Too Fred

What?! Yeah they do! Clip on aero bars come even before clipLESS pedals!

Well... there's only one guy out front and the rest follow. It's hard enough to ride around the bumps and potholes with standard drop bars in a pack of 10-20 riders.

There's a reason they are on clearance. If your reach/drop is set up properly, you won't be lower with your forearms on top than you will be in the drops. Is the purpose to ride narrower?

they're hideous

If you do, I'll give $50 for the old bars haha.

I keep a minimum safe distance from anyone running aero bars on group rides. I'd keep the same minimum safe distance from anyone running these on group rides.
|
might as well order some disc brakes while your at it.
|
Am I the only person who saw this title and read SS....
|
Those look kind of clever. Not allowed in a race of course, but otherwise.
