Bike Shaped Objects

I saw this BSO outside my block of flats - In case you haven't noticed the forks are on back to front!

Has anybody else seen anything similar?

lol... that's mad...

 

[HLaB]

LOL, is that an ASDA bike ?

Stocked in Wilkinsons and Sainsburys. Says it all really.

That's not uncommon on the display models for supermarket BSOs, and I've seen it a few times on eBay listings too.

I've seen backwards forks on a £2500 road bike in the window of a real bike shop. By the time I had returned with a camera, the oversight had been corrected

As a Bikeability instructor I regularly check children's bikes and it is definitely not unusual to find forks in back-to-front. I only had one like that last week. The full-sus bike which barely had the front half connected to the rear half made up for the lack of the usual holwers.

I bet that would be fun on a fast descent.........handle like a dream

I like how the bike looks fairly clean and new, and yet the chain and cassette have already turned to rust.

It's so that it's easier to reverse.
