I used to think flat bar gravel bikes were silly, now I've tried one I know they're silly, but I'm into it (www.cyclingweekly.com)

I just got back from a cycling tour with a friend who rode a flat bar gravel bike.
It offered a significant advantage: He could strap the tent poles to his handlebars.
The only place for them on my drop bar bike was strapped to the side of the top tube, and with that my legs kept rubbing against them.
