Greg Lemond popularised them for all of 15 minutes and then the UCI decided they looked stupid and banned them.

I thought they looked cool at the time as well, but looking back I wonder just how practical they were? I don't remember seeing anyone actually riding on the extensions, as opposed to MTB bar ends which you always see people using.
