Bike Anti-Porn - When Things Go Wrong

spotted this the other day too

Constant uphill, it builds up a butt load of potential energy ready to be used at the riders will, this guy/(pleasure loving) woman is on to something!

IT bike

Are those rearward facing bullhorns? It doesnt look quite as retarded as I thought it would.

you're right it looks worse

I was sort of fooled into thinking they were compact drops for about half a second.

must spread rep

the most compact of all time

If the bars had pink tape it would look like a turkey...

... speaking of turkeys, my friend's dad, in a fit of rage, once called him a slut. Had nothing to do with what he was up to at the time.

I saw this weapon being slained along Shoreditch High Street yesterday. Sorry for the camera phone poor quality.

Singlespeed with no rear brake and if you can make it out in the blur, those are deconstructed flat pedals. Fuck knows what was going on in his head to have the pedals looking like that!

Lightweight ennit

best title ever

Of course it's a non-drive side photo

It would seem that it is a bike for a small person, so the handlebars area functional choice. I dont think it looks too bad, the colour finish is amazing though.

What lets it down is the saddle angle, which suggests that after all that effort this bikes still does not fit the rider.

Re?

more wtf than re

Today I spotted a bike loaded up with panniers, rack, bags... looked like a proper tourer.

Except it had huge mustache bars.

Mounted backwards (i.e. pointing forwards).

Alas, no photo - I went for it but the owner came back before I could get one off - but Jesus, what the fuck? The mind boggles as to what position they'd put you in.

ha been always wondering how they look like when bullhorning!^

I should add that these were 'shopping bike' mustache bars - they have a HUGE rise as well. Almost like cruiser bars.

Japan is amazing for weird bikes. Every day I see at least a dozen small-wheeled folding bikes equipped with full road drops.

japan? japan is nothing compared to shoreditch.

Re?

Does this serve some sort of really specific purpose? Or is it as retarded as it looks?
