Look, we may have our differences but I think we can all agree that those people who dress up in seersucker/tweed and tool around on social rides are the worst. ;)

I am not just applying this to the hipsters, and honestly I don't have anything against them in particular. Anyone who is out riding like an idiot just perpetuates the bad view of cyclists in general. I don't know if they think they're being cool and 'sticking it to the man', or if they're just uneducated about having to follow the rules of the road and the same laws that apply to cagers. However, if one thing really grinds my gears, it's seeing any kind of cyclist acting like a jerk. |

Makes it difficult to ride when you are that aroused?

To answer your question, no everything does not associate with sex in my head. |

No.....But it's a GOOD thing when it's not.......
I'm not wearing any pants I have to lay on the floor to get into.....but I like it when women do it....:) |

I like the video. What I don't know is how "hip" is it really? Is that a subculture that a lot of 20 somethings relate to or do the majority of people in that age group find the clothes, the bikes, and the lifestyle as unappealing to them as it is apparently to some of us?
Again I liked it. Anything that promotes bike use over cars among a younger crowd is a good thing. When I was that age people were more into cramming thousands of dollars worth of audio equipment into a $200 car. When I was that age.......ah........I forget....man. |

actually with hipsters the clothing part is optional

I find this quite funny, if you mean tighter/slim/skinny jeans.
Everywhere else I've been in the world, refers to looser jeans as "American" jeans, however, you guys refer to slim jeans as "girls jeans." I think you've seen too many Miller Lite commercials or can't fit in slim-cut jeans? |

The only thing I can really compare hipsters to from my generation are yuppies. Equally lambasted. Different set of values. I think the hipsters are an improvement.

I was a messenger at one time, and while there is an okay number who actually fit the stereotype the real thing that makes a messenger a messenger is that their bikes are scratched, dirty, most of the time broken in some way and considered disposable.
I forgot to add - this thread is getting 41 worthy. |

Geez, fashion is lost on old people. |
I need some tight jeans because I've been losing weight and my pants are too baggy. Or maybe not

Because they look almost the same as tights, probably cost more, and at the same time provide none of the comfort.

But at least with tight jeans, you won't get your pant leg caught in the chain, and you don't have to commit any other fashion faux pas like stuffing your pant leg in your sock or wearing a goofy-looking strap or clip.

I was joking actually. I can see the practical benefits of skinny jeans as long as they're not too tight. I fid that rolling my jeans up works pretty well too.
