lowrider: Lowrider racks are front pannier racks designed so that the panniers attach below the top of the front wheel, so that their center of gravity is low and close to the steering axis of the fork Lowrider bicycles are a fad design of bicycles, inspired by the wheelie bikes of the 1960's with very long wheelbases They are built purely as an exercise in styling, with no real concern for riding qualities Some of them, in fact, are not rideable, because the cranks are so close to the ground that the pedals cannot turn around They commonly feature lots of chrome or gold plating, 72 spoke wheels, sometimes steering wheels instead of normal handlebars, and springer forks These toy "bicycles" should not be confused with recumbents, which are real bicycles
