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

    This Klutz Loves Her Aero Bars

    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.
