I've had aerobars on a road bike. They let me stretch out, take weight off my hands (helping with numbness), and were good for headwinds. They are best for straight level rides, you don't have much control while in them. I have not reinstalled them after selling that bike. I have my bell, cyclometer, and DIY lighting attached so I probably will hook them up in fall.
One word of warning - A previous coworker, who got me back to cycling, went over his aerobars a couple years ago and is still recovering.
