Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Is that a Zaphod Beeblebrox quote, or does it just sound like one?

running to workout. and not around the block. 6-10 miles when my running muscles weren't underused now that i just ride, ride, ride.

but of course i ride my track bike to pick up the latest gear. but i am sure to not wear a helmet and put some gel in my hair so i don't like dishelved when i show up.

SO, Why do Hipsters make bad lovers?

Because they are always complaining about the 7 inches they don't have.

No No No - don't look, STARE! STARE! And make that a mean, tough, STARE!

Remember being hip and anti-hip takes more than keeping both middle fingers extended at any given time

move to maine. it's too cold to be hip in the winter. and everyone is too fat and pale in the summer because we've been hiding inside, stoking fires and eating holiday sweets.
but-
alas, no girls on track bikes.

Does not compute.

Oh, but hey. Check this out. Want to have fun at a "hipster's" expense? Act like you don't get the "irony" in something he's wearing/saying/drinking/listening to, and then watch him get all hot under the collar over something that's supposed to be a joke.

Of course, you have to get into a conversation with him first, so maybe it's not worth it. OK, bye.

when enough people buy IROs or deep Vs that the hipsters start buying them (of course, this may have already happened), do the people that had them before become hipsters retroactively? Retro-hipsters?
If not, and you can't tell the difference between the hipsters and the retro-hipsters, does that mean that you're just not 'with it'? (I don't think I'm with it, used to be, not any more)
And if you're not 'with it', and then everyone else becomes not 'with it', does that mean that I'm cooler than all those who became confused after me?
when does the balance tip?
will I notice when I'm not cool any more?
If I've had a wallet chain for the last ten years does that make it OK?
what if you were getting sleeves done, and then that became played out, and you're only half done. Are you played out, or did you dodge a bullet? what about those star tatoos? how can you tell a new one from a well cared for old one?
oh...

A friend of mine bought the hipster handbook, and she told me I wasn't allowed to be a hipster because I love Popeye's.

Apparently, if you eat fried chicken on a regular basis, you are not a hipster.

I was pleased.

I think I'm sticking with Hewy Lewis on this one, "It's hip to be square" and I'm pretty sure he's talking about square taper bottom brackets.

EAT A D-I-C-K ISIS!
