    Don't you mean they said to put drop bar handlebars on your hybrid to give you more hand positions?

    I was under the impression he meant bar ends like explained here:

    I must agree on the Iroman gloves. Real leather makes a TON of difference for me. I don't have a ton of gloves because I have INCREDIBLY small hands. Most gloves don't fit and I am particular about the ways in which they do fit. Thus, the couple pairs that do fit have to hold up. The clarino patches just don't stand up to a good leather palm.

    Another thing is core strength. I have to remind myself to "pull it together".
