Fakenger in Cycling Plus Magazine

Yes, 1998.

Might have 1997.

. . . or 2000, but around that time.

You sure it wasn't 1999?

all those messengers hanging around the cycling scene and buying bikes just like cyclists makes me want to puke.

Agreed.Those messengers will be organising alleycats and bike polo next!

i feel that for mr ashton, cyclingplus magazine is his 'beard', a way of convincing the world that he is no hipsterenger.

You sure it wasn't 1999?

Could have been, but I took a year off, that whole period is quite vague as I was faking at everything around then.

my dad was a real fakenger before the term even existed. he had a fake portable crystal set and bespoke sack. he didn't have a bike (they weren't invented yet) but he hung around mail coaches looking cool.

GROOM ALERT GROOM ALERT

(OK Tommy, shall I wear the lycra nappy again?)

I only groom you because you because you're easy.

I'm a lazy groomer.

P.S Yes to the lycra nappy.

Fakalleycats.

but aren't beards hip?

oh I can't keep up with all this fashion shit, why can't it be like the early 90's again when you could cycle across town without seeing another cyclist, and the east-end hadn't been found under the WW2 rubble yet

and everyone hung around your flat smoking teenths of slate and listening to chumbawamba.

fucking halcyon days, they were.

cans of quatro and monster munch that turned your fingers orange.

until I called the police, yes.

I'm a fakenger. I pretend to deliver parcels all over town, except they're parcels of turds, and I'm riding on a Mattel Hoverboard.

was that meant to be funny?

A label for every occasion. You could invent your own ________nger. Let me know what the criteria will be and I can amend my bike and wardrobe accordingly.

Fixed-gear urban MTBs are an interesting offshoot of recent trends.
I think we'll be seeing more of these utilitarian (slow) conversions, fitted with racks + mudguards.

I am, like, soooooooooo ahead of the game, y'know.

It makes you an exenger,Mike!
Same as Buffalo.....

Thanks for clearing that one up for me.
I am an exenger. Is that good or bad though?

i am also an exenger. it's better than being a fakenger i guess?

Fuck exengers - I'm a YYenger :)

"better"

please explain why

I feel left out; neither a fakenger nor a hipster. I demand to be classified!
