Default Apes - this is not photoshoped

I was at Mountainfest in Morgantown WV today, and this guy rolled in, I couldn't believe he could ride this bike. I tried to ask him some Q's and was offended that I had to ask about his bars, walked away from me pissy. Oh well.

He was obviously starved of attention and love as a child.

That is just stupid.

I've never understood the whole "ape" thing. It destroys your control of the bike, and putting your arms higher than your heart for an extended period of time is retarded anyway.

Guy must love numb hands - or only has to worry about the ride to Starbux.

Could be compensating for something. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin', if you know what I'm sayin.

I think in North Carolina the handlebars can't be higher than you shoulders.
