let me explain I have two fixed gears one for cruising and messing around with friends (this bike has risers and a lower gear ratio) wheelies skids tricks what have you (if it sets you at ease my risers are mounted to a zero drop stem with at the top of an uncut steerer for comfort and just having fun)
I also have a pure bred track bike with drops
besides stop *****ing about other peoples' bikes and ride your own

By the way, I have a riser bar on my beater, and now I like it so much I'd hate it if someone stole it. So, now I don't have a beater bike.

by chance was it your scafoid bone?
that thing never really heals correctly. 8 months later, mine still hurts like hell when i tattoo for more than 3 hours.
thats generally the bone that breaks when you land on an outstretched hand.. usually from a bike or skateboard fall.

I'm running risers for the time being. My back is pretty messed up and the risers sweep does make it much easier for ME to ride. I like my drops and will probably run them again when I heal. I know I won't be mistaken for a hipster because I wear a helmet and I'm too old to give a sh*t about fashion. 
This works for me and it was a super cheap (free) mod.
I personally don't care what people run, I just like to see them riding period. I guess I don't have time to hate... unless it's the french. (just kidding.)
