We live in NYC, one of the most fashionable places in the world, so I don't mind the hipsters really, I'm guilty of being one at times. It also has a lot to do with what you do for a living. I'd like to get back to my cali roots and wear nothing but boardshorts and sandles all day, but as chill as my office is, that still isn't very professional. I think it's something about people not wanting a beach bum designing their houses. I think we need to seperate hipster from poseurs. I have plenty of hipster friends and a there are A LOT of poseurs at my school. So it just a matter of weeding them out. Poseurs are the ones that rides only to be seen and don't go more than a mile. They will get bored soon and start to mimic something else.
I'm confident enough in the lure of fixies that most people who start with it because it's a trend will stick with it. Isn't that what we want? more people in our army of bikers?
My policy has always been to let natual selection take it's course. The idiots will give up or get run over and the people who truely enjoy a bike will stay with it.
