We've all see folks riding with helmets on backwards, saddle heights that cause knee scrapes too but this takes the cake.

Riding home from work oncoming is a gent riding a hybrid. Something just isn't right. Ah, I see it, the brake bridge on the shock fork is behind the fork...hmm that's a new design to me. Whoa, no it isn't!!! I circle around and at this point the gent is stopped with allen key in hand about to..... "sir, can I help you?". "No I am fine". "Hey! I think your wheel is backwards". "No, it is fine". "Sorry to bother you but I think the bike will work better if we do this...". "Oh, ok.". "Sorry to bother you, bye".

Hope I didn't embarass him too much. Nice to see someone riding a "stayer's bike" ;)

Yep, I've also seen this on the trail.

The steering wasn't real stable, but the lady seemed to be doing OK, so I didn't say anything.
