Tony, would you say it's ok to ride your bike with aerobars but not ride IN the aerobars so that you have access to your brakes and hands free in a small group?

Please keep in mind that using your aerobars creates an unsafe environment and could potentially cause an accident within the group. Riding aerobars puts you at a disadvantage should you need to apply your brakes in a hurry. It is also hard to ride a straight line and we all know what potential hazzard that can be especially in a double paceline. There is only one case when riding aerobars is ok and that is when you are pulling up front and that is the only time it is allowed. There are a lot of rules when riding a paceline that everyone should follow and they are all there for a reason and that is for the safety of the group. To read more about riding the paceline, here is a link from our website: http://www.raleighgyros.com/pdf/riding_the_paceline.pdf So please, let's be safe, stay out of those aerobars and enjoy the ride.
