I'm checking out road bikes for the first time, and I'm finding the drop handlebars to be a little bit awkward. I don't think that I want a flat bar bike, because I like the idea of being able to change my arm position as I ride. Right now, my hybrid has bar ends, and I use them quite a bit.

Do you have any suggestions for getting used to the drops? I think the awkwardness is probably also related to getting accustomed to a more aggressive position on the bike, so perhaps I'll just get used to it with more time in the saddle?
