I say let people ride however wrapped, oury-d, un-wrapped, nekkid, or whatever else floats their boats. bullhorns, deep track drops, shallow ergo drops, double *****s, butterfly, helix bars, whatever the hell makes you happy. who are we to say what is and isn't practical for their applications? who knows what type of riding they do, if they wear gloves, or anything else about them? maybe they're in the bike shop right now getting tape for their un-wrapped bars. there are much more important things in life than to worry how someone else touches pieces of metal.
the only thing I really can't stand that totally defies all logic is un-capped drops.
