    As a bicyclist myself, who could blame them?

      From the looks of things, she is going to be in some pain when she trys pedling that thing.

    That looks like a ThudBuster seat post.

    Thing I do not like about modern biking is having to hunch over the handlebars. I know it’s streamlined, but I’m not racing. I’d like to look around while I pedal.

      That’s why I like a traditional drop handlebar. It allows me to sit relative upright when just cruising, or drop down for those times when I have to get there and there’s not a lot of time.

      I don’t get the infatuation with straight handle bars with bar ends. Get the bars high enough you don’t have to hunch over and the bar ends are useless. Get it low enough that you can really get going and you can no longer cruise comfortably. If you are using you bike for anything but training or competing they are useless, or so it seems to me.

      The traditional gear changer located on the lower tube of the frame is something I don’t miss though. It forced you to hunch over every time you wanted to change gears, and without fixed positions for the levers you had to guesstimate a bit and often do some adjustment as you put some weight on the pedals.

        Those bar ends are meant solely for hill climbing. When the bike is climbing more than 20 degrees the shift in body position makes those end grips more comfortable, and help give you the leverage to keep pushing/ pulling to get up the hill.

      Hurts the wrists, too.

      Also, consider Monica’s… dimensions.
      If she cycles bent over at this racer’s angle, she’s going to be kneeing herself in the boobs with every pedal.
