lol, this just reminds me of how i usually ride around fixed with my friend, whos a slightly bigger hipster than me (though i guess i'm pretty hipster). He and another friend decide we should all go on a slightly longer ride than just a commute (still short, only like 12 miles or so), so i decide to ride my lynskey since i don't get many opportunities to take it out. I throw on the padded shorts (though they're not the tights, i guess they're meant to be under regular shorts) and a wool jersey i had that was more casual, and threw on my clipless shoes. He's sees me and says "damn, don't need to get so serious" and he has on chucks, some 70's style short running shorts, running singlet thing, and white wayfarer knockoffs.
i lol'd. but jerseys and shorts are mad comfy
