Why Roadies Don't Smile-funny article I just read

[Djangodog]

Something that puzzles me is that most videos of road bikers show them gripping the upper part of the handlebar, rather than the drop part. Riding in that extreme tuck must be very uncomfortable. Or maybe there's another reason?

Typically, you get down on the drops to sprint or cut your wind resistance. Most road riding is on the hoods. On top is for climbing, stretching, eating and drinking. Sometimes you just change position to relieve different muscle groups.

Love the screen name. Great song by a great group!

Saw them last night. They opened for the Eagles. They were awesome and played for an hour...
