Hi Richard, you where saying:
RG>Hi Bill. Drop type handles allow for more positions for
RG>your hands so they can rest. Commuter bikes don't have drop
RG>handles because the distance is not expected to be very
RG>long. when you are on a bike for a longer period of time,
RG>keeping the arms in one position renders them very sore.
Yes, I do feel at times my shoulders aching where I had it
charred a long time ago, when riding bikes on cobble stone
pavements. Yes it does make sense...hmmmm might become a
convert yet....>
RG>Drop handles allow for endless change in position. they
RG>also allow you to get in a better arodynamic postion so the
RG>wind does not blow in your face. In a long ride that is
RG>important.
Especially the ones used now, where you can even rest your
arms on some pats. I'll sure have another closer look, when
browsing in our local cycle shop....
Happy cycling.....Bill :)
