do all hipsters think its cool to be dicks?
 
today i was waiting at an intersection on my fixed bike for the light to change, i have a helmet on, and clipless pedals with my cleated shoes. i take out my phone for a quick text and out of the corner of my eye i see 4 hipsters, they ride by yelling to me to "get some gears" assuming im like a wanna-be road cyclist. and ride away laughing, i brush it off and mind my own buiseness; dont wanna start any trouble. just wondering, are all hipsters asses? or just them. im sure there are other fixed riders who who have clipless pedals and wear a helmet.

"get some gears"? something little kids on orangecountyfixed would say, actually they do.

Like any other group of people, some are *******s, some are cool, see my thread for the cool ones!

Yes, it is the definition of hipster.

You should have yelled something slanderous.

We don't think it. We know it.

I just stay right with them and bug the sh*t out of them. They can't get away.

mikeee 09-27-09 01:04 AM

Heh, for some reason using gauge as a verb to mean stretch drives me nuts. I've had metal/plastic and various organic materials in various places longer than some of these emo/hipster/whatever other annoying bunch have been alive...

Ok I just showed I'm getting old =(

I guess I have to add that to the fact that on my beater schwinn I'm not tarck as f**k. Poor me!

FixMe 09-27-09 07:15 AM

Just ignore em. I met up with a group of guys last Thursday to ride and 2 of the guys wore helmets, 1 used clipless, nothing wrong with that. As long as you're having fun on your bike and it's what you love to do that's all that matters, don't worry about the ignorant masses.

****ING THANK YOU. I hate that. Bugs the hell out of me.

Edit: or when you have something in your lobes and someone says, "hey, nice gauges" FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU

TheDean 09-27-09 08:08 AM

TejanoTrackie 09-27-09 08:25 AM

No hablo hipster.

nowitsshowtime 09-27-09 08:38 AM

yes they are all *******s, and you should have confronted them. They don't like confrontation, probably would have **** their pants

SERIOUSLY. I have gauged what size my ear lobes should be, then stretched them to that size. When people talk about gauging their ears or comment on how awesome some gauges is pisses me off to no end. I had a girlfriend who did that. She also chewed with her mouth open.

I had to Google what you guys are talking about. Earlobes? Gauges? I get it now. I feel old.

mmac 09-27-09 09:28 AM

The majority of the local hipsters here still wear helmets and about 80% have at least on brake. The area we live in is pretty hilly and the roads are kinda ****ty. On the last thursday night ride I think everybody wore one. Then again, I'm not sure the average hipster is really capable of doing 40 miles over hills on a fixie and heavy drinking. Maybe wisconsin hipsters aren't as "pure" as the types on the coast.

Neither myself or my close friends shout things too people. Our exception is that if a bicycle rider appears to be under ~16 we may shout once to "get off the sidewalk", but only if we're on bikes ourselves.
