I have some friends that like to use aero bars. I have not tried them. However, almost all of the better, or maybe faster is a better description, group rides do not allow riders in the aero bars. Some will not let a rider join that even has them on the bike. A rider in the aero bar position does not have the control needed in a fast group. No group rides, no problem.
