Hand positions on drop bars

i'm with deadlyfannypack on number 1 and 2. position # 1 was just how i held the bars when i started riding. comfortable, easy steering, and kinda feels like i have more control. # 2 when i'm just going with the flow... when i'm climbing (especially standing up and climbing) - # 1. whatev

thankyou,

clearly more than one member 'getting it' without feeling the need for negativity, cynisism, insults and taking the piss.
