lowrider bike

Banana-seat chopper style

A lowrider bike is a customized bicycle with an extended frame, small wheels, and elaborate accessories like chrome parts, twisted spokes, and ornate paint jobs.

Modeled after lowrider cars, these bikes emerged from Chicano culture in the American Southwest.

They're built more for show than speed: He cruised the neighborhood on his lowrider bike, banana seat gleaming.
