See, recumbents are just safer...
A shortcut has to be a challenge, otherwise it would just be the way. No situation is so dire that panic cannot make it worse.
There are two kinds of people in this world: those can extrapolate from incomplete data.

Crossbar now seems to be called top tube. :wink:

I looked at the date on this post and it wasn't April 1st!

I would have said that a bike without a crossbar generally still has a top tube.
Or should we refer to that top tube as an "upper bottom tube"?
Or even upper bottom tubes on a mixte frame.

I must refer to the cyclists' defining terminology standards manual, but is that the UK standard or the EU standard?
Oh I give up, lets just let people call them what they like. Anarchy rules OK.
