Now I would never put a drop bar onto an MTB. They are meant for Offroad and I have enough trouble controlling the things with 27" bars- Let alone doing it with my head between my Knees at the same time
No, you are 100% drop bar on your road bikes.
Drop bars even make good sense in some offroad situations. Maybe not for your circumstances or for most circumstances, but in some rare circumstances they can be a good choice. I've seen single speed rigid 29ers set up for non-competition use with Midge bars that look cool as all hell. and of course there was the classic '87 Bridgestone MB-1 with the Nitto Dirt Drop bar. And there was Jacquie Phelan who won multiple US national and world MTB championships in the 80s on one of the first aluminum mountain bikes - with drop bars.
