Haven't tried this idea yet to confirm it or not.

I can't type for Paul, but not only does it look closer but I also get the 
feeling that the right bar is closer to me than the left when I initially 
get on the bike and move away. This sensation passes very quickly though 
cause I'm trying to look where I'm going as opposed to how the bars look. 
Taking your idea one step further I could of course ride with one eye 
closed and then close the other (mental note - open first eye before 
closing the second) to see what happens ;-)
