My sis and I are twins and she absorbs a lot of my bike talk just bc I'm such a nerd ab it.

Anyway, she has started to recognize what fixed gears are since I have 4 of them. She's in SF this weekend and she sent me this pic with the caption "first sighting":

My non-cycling friends do the same. They point out bikes to me when we're out. They actually tend to have nice taste. They don't normally like the overly colourful jackass tarck bikes.

"i know man, i did it on purpose, isn't it IRONIC?"

IRO frame, check.
Top tube protector, check.
Riser bars, check.
BMX grips, check.
Deep V, check.
Aerospoke, check.
Anodized crankset, check.

Well, citizen, looks like you've hit all the requirements. I'm pleased to issue your Hipster Card. Don't forget to show it at 7-11: it's good for a 10% discount on Natty Ice and Parliaments.

Maybe you're right. I might be confused. I can't remember which is the Homeless beer and butts and which is the Hipsters'.
