This thread was also started partly just for my own amusement. It's pretty funny to see the polarized responses I'm getting. The rate at which they're coming is pretty alarming too.
Mods, feel free to move this to the stupid thread when the time comes.

Are you going to Tech or Radford when you get out? Just keep doing what you're doing, and you'll be instantly way ahead of everyone else when you start college. They still wear cargo shorts and rock fauxhawks.

really though geektard why did you post this in SSFG?
why do you wear your chrome instead of timbuk2 when you ride to school?
why did you specify that your frame is steel?
get out

Me: "Oh hey guy in girls jeans what did you do last night"
Guy in girls jeans: "I cuddled with some girl and we talked about poetry"
Metaljim in girl jeans: "I ****ed some girl, then we cuddled, ****ed again, made fun of poetry, then rode our bikes around."
Makes all the difference.

Haha, for sure, I hate when people jump to conclusions, maybe those guys do ride and he hasnt ever asked them. Honestly, it's pretty petty to bring the subject up, I mean, who cares? A lot of people wore skate shoes when I skated and I never was mean about it, or really cared. If you ever plan on riding a track bike without racing on a track, you're doing basically what they are doing.
get it... it's a jump to conclusions mat!

Well thats okay then... I have the same problem. If I wear a 30" i end up with way too much material and 28" I can never find long enough so I usually wear sexless dickies and the one pair of jeans I found that fit that I literally saw on a mannequin in the window and went "NO **** that mannequin is exactly the same size as me" and I asked for the jeans that were on the mannequin.

Metaljim can wear girl pants. It's ok, cuz I just watched Cliff 'Em All last week for the first time and DAYUM them Metallica dudes (especially Kirk) had some tight pants. And they are metal.

So, every so often when I feel like it in the morning, I bike to school instead of riding the bus (it's actually faster, but I don't always enjoy getting to school sweaty that early in the morning). I roll up my pants and generally wear a cycling cap. When I do ride to school, I usually bring my Chrome Metro instead of my usual Timbuk2 XL. I ride a steel CX bike for the time being though.
Fast forwards to 6 months later. I don't know how long they've been under my radar, but today I spotted 4 well-known ******bags who I know for a fact would never trade their SUVs for bikes. It wouldn't have been so bad if two of them were wearing cycling caps flipped up (a Credit Agricole and a Colnago), pants rolled up, and the worst part: 2 had Chrome bags, one had a custom Timbuk2, and one had a ****ING RELOAD bag.
Sorry, I'm ranting now. I dress how I dress for function over form. Granted, it looks good too. These guys blew all this money and still drive their big honkin' SUVs to school. Just to look....... hip. It just pisses me off when they really have no justification for it.
On the plus side, I wonder if they'll be selling it off in a few months...

Please sticky this thread, so that next time someone thinks about starting a new thread *****ing about people getting into a fad that they themselves have only been into for a short time, they can immediately see this monstrosity up front and at the top.
