Allie,

I have a WSD road bike, which means the geometry puts me in a slightly more upright position than a men's bike. My handlebars are level with my seat. I just got aero bars for it last week and have about 100 miles on it using them. I thought, when I saw riders in aero position, that it didn't look comfortable, so imagine my amazement when I found out it felt like lying down! The loading weight was taken off my back and I got to stretch out. It felt so good! My elbows/shoulders supported all my upper body weight, so my hands/wrists were all relaxed and comfy. Even with my hands just in the drops, I feel a lot of back comfort- because weight is _off_ of it.
