This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don’t get it when people (usually chavs) can just sit back with their hands in their pockets - when I try it my handlebars twist out to one side instantly.

Most bikes are stable and a cyclist can weight shift to turn gently without touching the handlebars

Mine is a recumbent that steers with long handlebars. The handlebars prevent the bike from balancing itself.

Yours might have barely stable geometry, or badly placed weight on the handlebars
