A strange bike handlebar setup

A used Roadmaster bike is ridden. The handle bars were set up in an unconventional way by the previous owner.

The inverted rise bar setup shown here was actually popular in the 1800's and early 1900's on bikes made by the Wright brothers who later became famous for aircraft design and manufacturing. Though I have seen some riders set up their modern bikes that way, I don't prefer it.
