Please tell me that it doesn't have to do with social distancing. Bikes cannot transmit the 'rona to one another.

Putting the lie to the idea that a picture is worth a thousand words?
Maybe explaining why you think they're interesting might be a good idea. Because right now, all I get is people set up handlebars in ways I wouldn't like riding. This is not surprising.

I'm feeling the nonfiled cutoff bars. I mean, really feeling them. There's a dangerous situation waiting for an opportunity. Both of them set up to do some slicing/dicing.

Might not be street legal. Many states require both a front and rear brake. Though none enforce it. However a clever attorney might use that to their advantage if any injury case was to go to court.

On bike 2 the knee-activated downtube shifter is kind of interesting, and that the saddle and stem share the same angle is at least funny.

The radially spoked cut-out high flange hubs are likely to break before the month is over.

yes, they are interesting in a quirky way - however the radial-laced wide-flange front hub in the first pic looks like one good pothole away from catastrophic failure. That would be interesting.....
