Some people are horrified if you turn a bike upside down. Don't know why. There were a few early hydraulic brake systems that it maybe played heck with air bubbles getting in the lines, but only one or two early ones.
Otherwise, I think it was some people trying to sell bike stands that started the rumor.<grin>
