The lowrider bike is a highly customised bicycle inspired by classic lowrider car culture which first began in the US state of California in the 1940s. Lowrider bikes, which often feature long bodies with high handlebars and curved banana seats, appeared in Los Angeles and other cities in the 1960s, alongside the cars seen as a reflection of Chicano or Mexican-American culture. In 2017, a group of lowrider bike lovers in Hong Kong founded a fan club called lowbikerhk. They now have more than 20 members who have their own bikes and often ride together around the city to promote lowrider culture and lifestyle.
