Yeah, I really like them. I bike with slow traffic around town a lot and it's nice to have the more upright relaxed position.

I sometimes think about getting them for mine. There are a couple of really long and steep descents near me that I would feel more comfortable being more upright on. Do you think they leave enough room for a bell and light too?

I wonder now, I never feel like I need to ride there. Could that be a geometry difference depending on arm and torso length thing? Hood always seems to be comfortable enough for me.
