Yo know, when I was in the US last summer, all the young folk were drinking PBR. Being out of touch as I am, I didn't realize they were hipsters. I knew them only as the children of folks I used to hang with, long ago. Only one of them had a bike though, and early Trek tourer, fully racked, which I coveted, except for the too small frame. Instead, I coveted its owner.

Arlo and Judy Colins were in town the other night. I asked my psuedo-hipster son if he wanted to go. He answered, "Arlo? hmmmm....any relation to Woody?" For these and other reasons I haven't abandoned all hope and continue to feed and cloth him.

My point exactly - Brakes are for posers, blaise! Only without a brake can you feel "one with the road" and the bike. It's a zen thing, man. [/hipsternonsense] /QUOTE]
so true, Only without a brake can you feel "one with the road" or car or tree

Please, you have not written the perfect bicycle song because you haven't said anything about 'steel is real', 'BikesDirect', 'carbon fiber', 650B wheels, French bottom brackets, or the fork looks bent.

Actually, one of the things I like about hipsters is that they wear ordinary clothes in stead of lycra. Well, more or less ordinary. But you know what I mean!

I'm thinkin' maybe the next fade should be a "Flannels and white Thermals ride" and Portland Maine the next epicenter of Velo-coolness?
