I've noticed that I find it extremely difficult to slow down when I'm on my bike that has drop bars. I feel like everybody is expecting me to ride fast and lead so I end up spending loads of energy to reach the high speeds every single time that I'm on that bike.
I have tried to seriously slow down but I feel very akward being on a bike with drop bars and riding slow. For some reason I just get this urge and I can't help it. Now this is not about rationalizing it or anything. I know its ridiculous and most people probably don't even notice, those who do forget it within 5 minuts. But it is what is is. Is anybody else experiencing this too? I am seriously considering going for a flat bar next time I buy a bike for this very reason only.
