AeroBars

[RoadRaven]

Rode to work yesterday morning - its about 25km - and all the straightish flats and false flats I used the aero bars
Annie - like you suggest - they are quickly becoming addictive
I felt terrible in a cross-wind though and went back to the drops, just too little control as of yet
But into the wind, or no wind at all (it was a kind of gusty morning, wind couldn't make up its mind, plus lots of direction change in the road) they are brilliant

My neck is a bit stiff though, but it will get used to it

RoadRaven - I got aerobars a few years ago when planning to ride a double century (1-day). The route was perfect for it - lots of long, windy flats and gentle grades - a LBS owner/friend cautioned me up front about being wobbly at first and not to ever paceline using them, as the control is not there. She also said they add approx. 1 mph to your avg and provide a number of options to add to the position on a bike. So, I used them for the aerodynamics and then on the really long rides, it feels great to just stretch out for a few minutes and relax too. I was going to take them on/off but ended up leaving them on one of my road bikes as I was on longer rides more often. Glad to hear you enjoy them and that they're becoming more comfortable for your training too.
