Just for further clarification, I've ridden many long rides (100kish) with tiny hand width bars, they're not nice for climbing long steep hills (Think ditchling beacon) as they reduce the work that your uper body can do, thus put more stress on your legs.
In town I really couldn't imagine using anything over 350mm wide, there is just no need.
