Why would I lower my handlebars?

But, hearing "happy transition stories" makes me ready to go try out some new bikes.

I transitioned from a hybrid to a road bike about 4 months ago.. it was an easy move for me. Go out and try some bikes... it took me several months to find the "right" one for me, but I'm glad I took my time... I was immediately so much more comfortable on my road bike than I had been on my Hybrid.
