Does this make sense? Who started this stupidity?
It makes sense if you own that bike and want to carry stuff while riding it.
Your presumption that it's all about appearances is interesting though. I would tend to think the opposite, that someone using a handlebar bag, particularly on a bike like that, probably doesn't care what others think and finds this to be the most convenient way to carry something. Or maybe they're doing it to just to piss people off.
