Low rider bikes (or “lowrider” bikes if you prefer) have been tearing up the pavement since the 1960’s. Inspired by the awesomeness of the culture known as low rider, bikes imitating the style were developed. Legend has it that kids who were too young to work on cars got tired of being pushed away by dads and older brothers, until they took matters into their own hands, and invented low rider bicycles. Soon, the style took off, and makers like Schwinn started mass producing low rider bikes, or at least muscle bikes that could be turned into lowrider bikes.
So what are low rider bikes anyway? Well, as applied to bicycles, lowrider style means lots of chrome, big ol’ handle bars, white-wall tires, sissy bars, banana seats. custom upholstery…in fact, everything customized wherever possible. The more the better. Any kind of custom paint is especially welcome on low rider bicycles too. In fact, the best lowrider bikes, the most respected ones, are built all the way from scratch.
Really, low rider bikes and the whole lowrider culture are all about self-expression, so the sky is the limit. If you can do it to a bike with your own two hands, it’s you. But in the end, it’s the classic, cool, low-to-the-ground profile that really defines low rider bikes. You know ‘em when you see ‘em. Take a look:
