With its high handle bars and adjustable seats - usually set pretty low - lowrider bikes seem like a relic of the past in a world of fixies and foldable bicycles. But the subculture has been given a second life by a group of bikers in Hong Kong called lowbikerhk. Its leader, Timothree, tells us how he fell in love with the lifestyle.

Lowriders are international if you don't own one you can't really understand. It's amazing just cruising in summer. Lot's of people stop to talk and ask lot's of questions. Lowriding has helped me with mental health issues and makes me happier.

I'm surprised it took Japan that long for this, I would have thought the opposite. Like to some stretch cruisers there too.

Man got most of his facts wrong 1940s was when lowriders were customized and made

@Obscurai 3 года назад

Since car ownership is very expensive in HK, low rider bikes makes sense. And you don't need to buy a parking spot.

@noquarter915 2 года назад

Not really my cup of tea(my knees hurt just watching them ride)but I like it. Some are so obsessed with shaving of grams while this is all about style and having fun.

@wtpaige 3 года назад

Copying the worst things

@cpcxgsr 3 года назад

This guy swears that if it wasn't for him, "Chicano culture" would never exist in HK. I'm sorry to burst your ego. But take a look at Japan. The japanese have been mimicking LA Chicano culture for years now. Hong Kongers love to copy other people's styles. It's been happening for decades. Years ago when I was a kid, HKers would copy whatever was in style in Japan. Such as Jpop, anime, JDM car scene, clothing, and etc... I wouldn't be surprised if he came across "japanese Chicano culture" and decided to copy them... If it wasn't him, I'm sure another kid from HK would have done the same.

@CreativeChaos13 3 года назад

Low Rider magazine was started in the 70's, along with the low rider culture, too bad this guy has his facts wrong on more than just that.

@gordonlewis4280 2 года назад

Your 100 percent right those bikes were bought not build their is a difference when you take a beat up schwinn and make something out of it to make it your own how ever I give them props for preserving the culture..

Kentucky miss your pretty smart on this it's good to know.
