    Way to go Kimmy!

    Aerobars are truly awesome "tools of the trade"

    Just a gentle reminder not to use them when riding with others; you have much less control in the event of an emergestop or need to swerve.

    Also be prepared that a cross wind can "throw" your balance - into a head wind, or with a tail wind chasing you, the wind helps to keep you upright.

    But it takes some practice to ride straight and feel safe in a cross wind... your centre of gravity and therefore point of balance is dramtically changed.

    Enjoy them - I luuuurve aeros too


    Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
    "I will try again tomorrow".

    Hey Kimmy, that's great! I'm so happy to hear you got them back on and you feel *fast* riding in aero position.

    Practice makes perfect... keep riding and you will get very comfortable on them. I'm close to being there myself.
