Subject: RE: Getting used to aerobars When I first got my tri bike, I did not feel comfortable riding on my aerobars at all. The only thing I can say is, it will become second nature, but it will take some time. I practiced riding one arm in aero, one on the bullhorn/brake for a while, that made me *feel* less anxious. Really though, if something just pops into your way at 20+ mph, it's not going to matter if you are on your drops or aero's, you are going down. (Reassuring I know ) Now I ride almost constantly on my aero's (very little time on the bullhorns, only around very tight curves and climbs ) Give it some time and don't give up. Just go at your own pace. If you aren't ready in two weeks, you aren't ready... if you are you are. Good Luck |
