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)

Dude, I already applied and they denied me. You guys have really low hipster status standards.

Hipster uniform? I'm clearly wearing two different, though well thought out ensembles. If you include the pic from the previous page, it's now 3 stellar riding outfits. How many uniforms do these hipsters have and how did I end up with at least 3 of them? Sounds like they need to standardize. Look at other gangs like Bloods, Crips, or Yuppies. Those guys have their look together. Instantly recognizable. For the record, I don't own any Toms or Apple products.

Is a hipster basically anyone who is cooler, or has better taste, than you guys?

Also, hipster is as hipster does

Thinking about your outfits enough to call them "well thought out" and referring to them as "ensembles" might make you a hipster. Do you own a chenille scarf, by chance?

Hey man...if you saw me on the street, you'd think "That dude sells weed". If I saw you, I'd think "Look at this ****ing hipster".

I didn't even know chenille scarves exist. Do you sell them through retrogression?

You figured it out. The whole thing is just a front for mail-order weed.
