There's no better way to carry a moderate load on a bike than centered over the front axle. Honest. Lowriders turn your encumbrances into a ride-smoothing bike-stabilizing affair. By placing an equal-ish amount of weight on each side of the fork your bike's handling becomes discernably even-keeled. This means you need to out less effort into maintaining your steed's tack and more into relishing your self-sufficiency. Enjoy the view, too. The world is nicer to look at without opressive frames.

Commissioned by Adventure Cycling,this saucy little number is unique among lowriders in that it has vertical adjustability built in, allowing you to keep it level. Nice, Huh?
