What a strange and unpleasant parallel, but if you must ... its easier to **** anywhere than to just
do it in a toilet. Just go to the men's toilet in a bar and witness the effects of missing.
Almost everyone can get to grips with the brakes on flat bars straight away. You seem to be making a
parallel between stinky carpets and people's experiences that the brakes on drop bars can be tricky.
Braking from the hoods is not as convenient or powerful as on flats, from the hoods - well - if I am
likely to need to break I like to have an upright position, for vision, so more people can see me,
and so I've got my "air brake" on.
