Here is another at a slightly different angle:


I put a set on my bike when I had shoulder surgery to ease the pressure on my shoulder. Now they are on 3 of my bikes.

I did a count of bike tourists on one of our European rides that were using drop bars vs. Flat bars. I quit at 100 and the score was: 95 flat bars, drop bars 5.

What nobody mentioned is that the way Europeans ride flat bars puts them in a similar position as the pictures posted above. I did not see many riding in an "upright" position. The people sitting upright were usually the older folks on cruiser type bikes. I've even seen aero-bars mounted on flat bars,
