Sure... that's what they all say.

:p No worries, all in good fun! Hey, I own pet rats, and build lightsaber hilts in my spare time. Who am I to judge anyone on their eccentricities?

How is it that all hipsters have no thigh muscle AT ALL?

definition of hipster: A person who complains about how much they hate hipsters.

Hipsters are raised in a crate the first few years of their lives (like veal) to produce atrophy in the leg muscles, thus enabling that impossibly chic look in skinny jeans.

wow thank you everyone even those of you with the silly and semi hatefull post towards hipsters. i guess their fad hasent reached oklahoma closest thing we have to hipsters is car driving beatnicks

The biker subspecies that annoys me are the low rider kids. You know the ones, almost always hoodie clad, riding a 20 inch bmx bike with the seat slammed all the way down to the frame. They are generally teenage boys. I don't think they are old enough to be hipsters yet.

Every time I see one of these little bastids, I wanna yank him off his bike, adjust his seat for him and say "there, try that".

trekker pete 12-12-08 05:06 AM

they still got beatniks in OK?

Geeze, you guys are behind the times.

So thanks.

Feel more tight-arsed too? You betcha!

Tight jeans look really, really uncomfortable. Especially in the crotch area.

trekker pete 12-12-08 08:11 AM

Only if you have nads. I suspect these stick legged hipsters may not have this problem.

DataJunkie 12-12-08 08:18 AM

They get bigger as you get older. Way to go chip!

A couple of our night rides has stopped by a hipster joint not really my thing but the place and people have been pretty welcoming. I guess I like hipsters. Some pretty bikes they ride, though not to long ago I saw them putting on a white chain at the lbs and that just seemed like a bad idea I keep my drive train moderately clean but no way would I take on a white chain.

Yeah, I don't get the colored chain thing.

White bar tape is more of a roadie thing (I think), but I don't get that either. Isn't it just going to get all grimy and disgusting?

Yup. All the better to show that you actually ride your bike rather than pose in front of the coffee shop with it.

I just wish they'd move on to some other fad so I can eventually get a decent steel frame for less than $400. Other than that, who cares?

Kimmitt 12-12-08 04:00 PM

I actually really like the colored chains; I just can't justify the expense right now.

I don't know how they pull off the skinny jeans, tho. I guess they're just extremely well, um, organized.

Although these kids (and boy are there a lot of them in my hood!) don't really get me angry, I do think their saddle angles are pretty funny. For those who don't live near an urban area, let me explain: they stick straight up. I'm patiently waiting for the day I see one of them slip on the pedals and lose his virginity. :roflmao2:

This thread is making me feel old. I don't even know what the heck a hipster is.
