I’m about to buy a new bike! Yay.
It will have gears! Not so yay!
I’ve recently had tennis elbow, which means I’ve now had tennis elbow in both arms (neither injury was caused playing tennis; one was triggered by pouring cups of tea during the Dunwich Dynamo). Both were fixed with injections, though obviously I now have a weakness.
I usually ride with straight bars but google tells me that drops possibly would be best for long rides.
Anyone had similar injuries? Drops or straight bars? (And how long will it take me to get used to drops?)
i don't know how hand position relates to tennis elbow but for relief of pressure on ulnar nerve bars with good sweep angles - think e.g. jones bars are recommended

Thanks for any input.
