Hilarious hipster hate from a roadie

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm assuming the video was making fun of both groups, but I still thought it was funny as hell.

Just because something includes a whole lot of inside jokes and clichés doesn't mean it's funny.

Actually, it usually means the opposite.

All rap music is cliched anyway and don't kid yourself.

I thought it was great.

I did notice, though, that the Hipster with the little handle bars has reduced frontal area as compared to the Roadie...

Wow.

Hyper critical much? I think that only adds to the point of the video.

I thought it was pretty funny all things considered. It was certainly much better than I expected it to be.

Whoever cant at least crack a smile at that is just fueling the up-tight roadie stereotype.
