>>1641288the main hoods position on drop bars is a lot like bar-end extensions on flat bars, with how it angles your wrist. So if you like bar-ends you'd probably like drop bars.
And drop bars also give you multiple hand positions, like bar-end do, it's just more than 2.
And they're narrower, which makes them more aerodynamic, which makes a big difference at higher speeds, and which some people find more comfortable. Increased width gives better control, but that only really becomes necessary for technical trail riding).
There's this idea that drop bars have to be for racing and they have to mean hunched over aggressive positions. It's not true. You can have high drop bars. Drop bars might even mean you can have your bars HIGHER than you might normally with flat bars, and then ride in the drops when you want to get lower.
