This may be a dumb question but I've been wondering the anwser for the last few months.... Why Aerobars? Let me explain, last year I started cycling in May and I really enjoy it. Being that I'm an avid runner, I decided to compete in some Duathlons last summer and very much enjoyed myself. I noticed nearly everybody that was even remotely competitive used either clip-on aerobars or had a Triathlon bike.
Obviously I do see one big advantage and that is aerodynamics, hence the name. But is there anything else that using Aerobars in a Duath/Triath gives you? Or are they mainly for achieving an aerodynamic position on the bike?
Thanks for any help!
