Well, I was going to post the wall mart bike I saw on the back of a car a few days ago, but that's way better...

I saw one Tuesday on the greenway trail. I only had enough time to yell "Nice backwards fork!"; not enough time for a pic.

From CL.

Looks a little cramped.

 

[DIRTJUNKIE]

Somewhat. Lol

God help us all.

I bet they did it backwards because that's the only way the front brake cable is long enough.

Backwards Trust Message linkage fork, to make the "world's toughest race" even tougher.

Why hasn't @Nurse Ben commented on this yet?

Backwards fork makes any bike more playful.

Brilliant!
If a bike is too slack, BB too high, you can adjust by flipping the fork!
Why bother with flip chips, multiple point shock mountings and other suspension doodads?
Adjustable suspension bikes have been here all along right under our noses.

The realization that we've come full circle is a tough one to bear.

Backwards fork, meet backwards stem!

I'm dragging this thread back out because I never thought I'd find one in the wild... that brake lever position also looks super ergo.

Oh my, that's full of assembly fun!

 

[Varaxis]

His and her's bikes, with matching backwards forks

This guy must be one of those super awesome riders adopting that super new geo.

Ready to ride!

^^^ did those forks see a trash compactor at some point? Or first time rider swan diving a 10ft drop?

 

[ghettocruiser]

Pick up from Scarborough too. Hometown proud.

It looks like someone was sampling the hard seltzer while assembling this one.
