Where to Grasp the Handlebars

Hills

When climbing in less than a sprint, if you're not pulling on the handlebars, use the tops or drops, stay away from the aero bars and hoods. In a long plod, where nothing remains of its approach to drive, do not hesitate to sit in the wind using the tops, because it does not significantly impact velocity - almost all efforts is the fight against gravity, not fighting wind. (For more information on this effect, see your Pacing Climbs.)

Sprint

If you start throwing in more power bars, go to the bottom. If you're Sprint up a hill, the bells are great. Stay away from doubling the top and back of the drops, and to an extent where the top pulling his bar. The importance of access without effort apart, his arms work more efficiently and powerfully when expanded.

Cruising

If you are mounting quickly, or against a headwind, joining the aero bars or drops. If riding hard, put his head down and really jamb hands under section curve. You'll wind outside and the balance of his weight.

A strong glue, or the lack of any trouble, makes the best position to change the ends of the drops, bells, or the curve behind the hoods. These positions are the most comfortable for long distances, or walks of no more than moderate intensity.

Avoid the flat section of the handlebars when cruising, but not entirely. In a very long journey, I have a way of beating the drops until they are exhausted my arms and am obliged to use the flat section, after having "exhausted" all positions lower. If I had rested my arms tired before switching to the flat section - or even the hoods - sometimes during the trip departure, I would have had greater fraction of the global total spent in assembling the most efficient tuck it.

In general, however, you only want to use the flat section if you are riding a hill in particular, not haste, travelling very slowly, or are trying to communicate to the other posts on a break.

Burping

For BURP, go to A and tilt his head back. Do not even bother trying to get the air when you eat out in the drops. Not only is there no hurry, but everything that is going to do is give you heartburn without complying with anything. In general there is no need to sit BURP.

By the way, swallowing air in an attempt to make it easier burping does not work. You will swallow more air than you subsequently expelled, making the problem worse. If you tend to swallow air when drinking from a bottle of water, try sucking in the nipple and filling up your whole mouth, instead of squirting a bit in his mouth and swallow water with a breath of air, again and again . If you drink anything carbonated, the best bet is to get half a dozen solid burps before reaching back to his bicycle.
