    I remember bike pegs. The things that everyone wanted, but no one ever actually used as intended.

      What was their intended use? I thought they were made for giving rides, and grinding rails…

        For the cyclist to stand on when performing various BMX stunts

          Oh, ok. So while they are in the air, or what? Or is this more like a trick bike display where they are just using the pegs to balance at crazy angles while they stay on the ground, similar to the former SAAB stunt driving team?

          Edit: For reference, those are unmodified SAABs. They could just do that shit off the line. That’s specifically why GM killed SAAB. They refused to use the GM standard parts, and kept making the safest cars in the world.
