You're the one commenting on somebody's butt. Don't get upset when someone calls you on it.

Over the last several decades or so, I have enjoyed my commute. All the rest is just noise.

Interesting how certain places have the 'hipster aftershocks' compared with other urban centres. The difference between bicycle commuting and any other 'hip' trend is that, unlike the latter (fashion, music, fly-by-night political causes, alcoholic beverage choices), the former has demonstrated social benefits.

I liken it to the whole trend in gluten-free and/or vegetarian/vegan food. Does everyone need gluten-free food? No, but a lot of people benefited from its rise in popularity. Even if kids buy bikes for dubious reasons (fitting in with a crowd), odds are that their exposure to cycling will pay off in the long run.

I almost quit riding my FG to work after spending two weeks in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and then I went to Chicago and discovered that "hipsters" were everywhere. Truth is, I really don't give a **** what "hipsters" do. I love my FG and I love my commute.

Jeez, if I want fashion garble I go elsewhere... If it's not the Spandex guys defending the right to wear spandex, it's the hipsters wanting to wear womens' underwear, or Freds wanting to wear one million Lumen...

Ride your bike, silly.

Seems like the hipsters in Sacto's Midtown have moved on from FGs. It's all about the mopeds now. Stinky, loud, hydrocarbon spewing Puch moped relics from the 70s. I hate them with the white hot intensity of a million suns.
