If all the controls function normally then it’s usually no big deal to ride it. After a low-side deep in the hills with a bent handlebar, levers, mirrors and busted gauges, I rode my bike maybe 30 miles home at a chilled pace, then to a shop. I’d get things promptly fixed, but there are people who ride with a slightly bent handlebar indefinitely.
