My mum supports my kid having a lowrider bike, and thinks it’s important for kids to know the concept, and to know the real meaning of what it is to own your own bike. So I want him to grow up and know the value of it, and he can keep it as he gets older or pass it down.



Lowrider bikes are for grown men too:

Some of them appear to have the bottom bracket so low that the pedals won’t actually go round.

Unless the front wheel's in the air?

The one incorporating a baseball bat holder is... cool...
