Came across this ad in Austin CL for "Tall Puch roady ($250)". It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at. I've never seen bullhorn bars mounted like that...never mind the stem!

Hook em horns!

That's the air-brake position when going down steep hills.

Aaagh! All these years I've been riding my bike all wrong!!!!!

wow. at what point did that seem like a good idea?

there are some folks with very poor flexibility who still want to ride.

I would say that perhaps they should sprinkle in some yoga twice a week in addition to their cycling.

There was an older man at an organized century I did last summer on a road bike with the bars mounted so high that being in the drops was directly in front of his chest sitting straight up.

No one is that inflexible.

TEXAS. Say no more..

Bar tape matches the curtains.

Either people actually are, or they feel inflexible and instead of working on it they try to ride sitting straight up.

Hate to have an accident on that bike!

Go work in a shop for awhile, you'll find people with crazy injuries that require extreme fits to be able to ride bicycles. All this blind following in cycling is why we have weekend warriors with beer bellies riding with 9" saddle to bar drops in the hoods.
