"Hipster" is a term that derives from the user-name "hippy" who occasionally posts on here as well as on numerous other forums. A "hipster" is someone who follows hippy who is a well know Australian cyclist now living in West London. Hipsters seek to mimic his style and athleticism and often, like him, ride fixed wheel bicycles.
Anyone who rides fixed wheel bicycles in the style of hippy is a hipster.
Now you know.
