I think what Marc is saying is that it just seems ironic. We both feel it is our handlebars that make the roadies look askance at us. Something about swept-back bars says “not serious” to the other riders in a club ride. But truthfully, they are sitting upright on the tops of their drop bars about as tall as I am, so is there really a huge difference? I mean, it’s a fair question… On Tuesday, July 26, 2022 at 7:29:03 AM UTC-4 Marc Irwin wrote: > It was a normal Monday night ride with the Kalamazoo Bicycle Club.
