Let's see ...
I'm 46.
I own a Honda Accord. A green one. I also own a Volvo. A white one.
I own a house in the suburbs.
I teach first grade.
My iPod is full of the same alt-rock I listened to when I was in my twenties.
But ....
My iPod is full of the same alt-rock I listened to when I was in my twenties.
I own three fixed gear conversions. Two of them have moustache bars and Brooks saddles.
I don't allow carbon fiber on my property. The same for wheels that don't have at least 32 spokes.
I did own some riser bars once. I chopped them up to make a mounting bar for the many lights I use on my bikes in the winter.
I've also been known to hang out a bike co-ops.
I did race in an alleycat once. It was one of the most fun things I ever did on a bike. I almost DFL'd.
I never drink PBR, but in the 80's my friends and I all drank Meisterbrau and Milwaukee's Finest because it was cheap and we like the irony of it.

At my age I would be flattering myself if I voted yes.

I wear jeans, tees and Vans... always have. I guess I look like a hipster. In the past I have also looked like a punk, skater, grunger, stoner and hippy. Scenes change, the clothes stay the same.

yeah, of course i am. i thought i wasn't because i didn't have anybody else to show me the styles. i just had sheldon brown's site to make me build my fixed myself. then i came up with rolling the pant legs on my own. bike touring veterans got me into brooks saddles. i like road conversions and box rims, if that helps. oh, and, ultimately, i wear the shimano cycling sandals, so i suppose they absolve anything hipster i'd ever do. but, again, i don't see the sin in being hipster.

9 to 5, kid, wife, mortgage, etc.= Not hip for sure, but give it my best foot forward. Tats, fixies, knickers. I guess I'm more of a wannabe.
