Surely the forks would be ok if the bars were the right way round?

So the rider isn't likely to wave back?

My son works for halfrauds in the bike dept. He e-mailed Argos & Asda (they use the same pic) to point out the obvious mistake.

Amazingly both companies thanked him for pointing it out, and said they would withdraw or amend the picture

That was about 5 weeks ago! :smt005
