>>1280822From a mountain bike does not mean from mountain biking. Almost no one starts out riding drop bars.
You can easily bunnyhop a road bike, even easier with clipless. I do it over potholes when it's not safe to swerve
Here's a quick way to show you how drop bars are superior. Hold a fist out in front of you, with your elbow bent 120°. Hold your fist horizontally, like gripping a flat bar. Your elbows splay out right?
Now try it with your knuckles lined up vertically. That's what gripping the hoods on a drop bar is like. Your elbows naturally splay down.
Which one is naturally more comfortable?
