Hot take: cheap flat bar beats drop bars for city commuting, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
Swapped my drop bar commuter for a $40 used flat bar setup in March and I can actually see traffic now. On my old drops I was craning my neck up at every light on Clark Street, and my back hated me by Friday. The flat bar puts my head up, hands on the brakes, and I feel way more aware of cars and doors. Yeah, drops look cooler and maybe they're faster on open road, but for stop and go city riding I'll take the flat bar any time. Anyone else switch and feel the same, or am I just getting old?
