Bars, hoods or drops???

[HLaB]

Talking about SS/Fixies; when I do my short commute I'm on the flats too much (no brakes for me ) because the bars are too wide

ride mostly on hoods just feels right

used to be in drops a lot when the saddle was a bit lower, almost always hoods these days although drops when it's the wrong wind or having a blatt, london commuting encourages an upright position

Hoods unless I'm trying to catch the local cycle club.

each to the own i suppose on flats i use the drop get a better feel or i just rest my forearms on the bars and ride

with drops braking is an issue i got left hooked and skidded on the back wheel

i saved it though

Hoods mainly,switch to bars for a break,no handed on quiet smooth roads

Most of my time on the drops, or aero bars.

It took me 6 months to get my body used to being on drops. Now I spend a lot of time there and have even flipped my stem back over.. It just takes time.

I've only been riding drop-bars for 3-4 weeks and I use the hoods 90% of the time.
I'm in the drops/hooks mainly on downhill bits or bits where I feel I might need to break hard.
My usage of the drops/hooks tends to be all about getting sufficient leverage on the brakes to stop quickly.
