Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Thank god I'm not the only one. My girlfriend looks at me like I'm crazy when I go off on a tangent about this. If I "gauged" my ears that would mean I measured them... I stretched them, the term is stretch. "Nice gauges"... that doesn't even make any f'n sense!

The annoying breed of hipsters is the hyper critical mouthy reckless bunch whom only have bikes, which they've unskillfully butchered classics to turn into fixed gear beaters, as a fashion accessory, which they walk most of the time from their level of fitness/nutrition/clothing not allowing them to ride, whom seem to be oblivious or ambivalent to the rules of the road or common decency. Typically there is one of these incredibly annoying hipsters for every ten hipsters, which while following a fad closely, are genuinely mellow and not out to piss people off.

I usually think the the annoying ones, which sear the negative stereotype into our collective thoughts, eventually wind up getting themselves hurt or confronted one way or another and give up cycling entirely.

From: My response would have been something along the lines of: "Does your bike have computer controlled suspension? Then shut your piehole, this baby is from the future!"

Bikes: to many to list

They're not all dicks, some are *****s. but really, they're not all dicks, as for gauges it really doesn't bother me what people call it, I truly don't give a flying ****, all I can say is I've had them before having them was popular, lately I have let them close up a bit, no particular reason, just stopped putting them in, lazy in my older years I guess.

Texting while on the bike is just plain wrong. Cell phone is strictly so somebody can call an ambulance when they find you lying in the road/ditch/wherever. Texting while on the bike is SO poseurific, you might as well have been at Starbucks with your laptop.

Hey cmon guys everyone sees me as a hipster but I don't really see myself as one. I may look like one just because I think its what I'm comfortable with you know? But anyways we're not all dicks. As a matter of fact the group of guys I ride with at school and at home are all super down to earth. A few of them even ride road bikes.

You should have dismounted, locked up, and texted safely on the sidewalk. While doing hand signals.

Im not a member of a visible minority
I am a male in my 20's
I go to the local Critical Mass' and play polo with much of the same guys
I race road bikes and participate a lot in doing what i can to better my team
I am a dick.

Its not a 'hipster' thing... Can it also be a 'roadie', or the fact that im not a member of a visible minority thing?
How about maybe its the fact that im canadian
Or that i like heineken now and then on my patio at 7:09. not 7:08 or 7:10 though.

Maybe im not a dick at all, and in fact am a pope like figure.
Maybe im a fat-ass that doesnt rides bikes at all and just lurks internet forums daily.

Who knows.
Dont judge the whole 'community' based on a small group of people.

I was looking for a word to basically say the 'category - hipster' and 'community' came to mind.
Take it as you will.

If you think you are comfortable, you are not comfortable; you are or you are not.

"Get some gears." That's what they shouted? That's it? And for that you are catagorizing them as dicks?

Man! You have got some high class problems.

"Get some gears" isn't far off from when a car full of teenage jocks rode by me the other day and one of them yelled "Get a haircut".

Let it roll right off, man....
