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)

The people in the video or who identify with the video care about what people wear. Reverse identity classification. Every young person goes through it. It is part of identifying yourself.

When I saw the bugle I was hoping that instead of boring old bike polo we'd see bike fox hunting. Tally-ho!

this.

as long as they're not riding like jackasses, endangering people's safety, it's all fine by me.

Still, you can't deny, it's just too easy to cringe at and make fun of.

if you pause at 3:00 there's some serious violation going on.

I hope you don't think you're talking to a mustache faced, scowling hipster ****** either.


I was trimming down the beard before I shaved that night, and while I was at it, I decided to **** around a little bit and snap a few pics of myself in a silly hipster mustache, making silly hipster faces.

In reality, I just look like your average joe
