those bikes are amazing. perfect counterpoint to fixed gear hipster bikes. love it.
I love the chrome!!
I saw those guys on 13th on Sunday. Those are some cool bikes.
my parents have his-and-hers versions of the one on the right (w/o the big handlebars).
I saw those guys on Sunday when I stopped by Ben’s Chili Bowl.
Bikes are great. These are great.
Now there is an awesome new trend for DC to embrace. Great shot.
How are these tough guys? I’m not sure what to make of that. btw, these bikes have been popular in the Southwest for years. I especially like the tricycle models with stereos attached.
Any bike with ape hangers automatically makes the riders tough guys. Age and such does not matter!
What is the purpose of the extremely high handlebars? Is it more comfortable to cruise that way, or is it a “my handlebars are bigger than your handlebars” thing?
High handlebars (ape hangers) are a Harley thing, they are purely aesthetic. I am sure some weirdos find them more comfortable, but then again some people find sport bikes comfy.
Oh, and they got popular after Easy Rider and the Cap’n America bike therein. Grooovy….
Random useless factoid about ‘ape hanger’ bars that may or may not be true: they were originally formed from dismantled sections of the bottoms of supermarket shopping carts.
I wish I could find a used low rider bicycle…anyone know of any places to get one?
