#3 Ride Enough to compete with non-hipster roadies
Remember that hipster road biking is done in the context of being different from normal, boring, “bike-jock” “roadie” cycling. That being said, it’s the hipster road biker’s duty to compete fiercely with the conventional roadie. That way you can tell your bikefag friends back in town,
“dude, I came up on some asshole on his fucking expensive-ass, 12-speed, 13 pound, Specialized, right? And I was all like, ‘yo man, get your rich-ass out my way.’ The climb started getting steep, man, and I cold dropped the motherfucker! Colnago, bitches! Represent!”
“What’s that? Oh the jersey? No, it’s not Rapha. It’s *dead stock Italian National Team 1974, *bitches!”
You will spend a lot of time getting beaten by 50-year-olds before this scenario is likely to happen, but that’s no reason not to practice your story-telling skills now.
