I do most of my riding alone so I don't have to worry about using the aero bars around others or in groups. Besides being able to go a little faster I like the bars because they allow me to take all of the weight off of my hands.

i totally agree with CR400, i just like aero bars, they're comfy and when you're tired they let you take a little load off. and it makes it easy to go faster. but never on a group ride, it's never allowed anyway.

I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

Ditto on aero bar love. It took me a couple of rides to get use to but I'm to the point where on a long ride sometimes I feel I could take a snooze down there. And, I am a klutz. Just today I fell yet again because I couldn't unclip fast enough. But, I've never had a problem in the bars. When your down there your in the zone, concentrating and working hard. Its when I'm upright and distracted that I fall. I got pretty light bars for about $80. I have them adjusted somewhat higher than they would be on a tri bike and because my shoulder hurts when I'm down there for more than 20.
