There's an entire subculture in Williamsburg in Brooklyn. The problem for me is that I don't fit into it. I wear cycling clothes, ride a carbon fiber bike, have money. They wear hipster jeans, flannel shirts, ride fixies, and act like they don't have money until they're in a restaurant where a $15 hamburger is a "bargain".

When I'm commuting I feel like part of the culture, since I'm riding my converted mtb, and in street clothes.
