I only just spotted that monster hate thread.. pah. It's the Daily Mail, why is everyone so surprised?
Howies make nice gear.. Rapha stuff is OK - their 'proper' cycling gear is much nicer than their 'fixed' stuff.
If you want to be really 'cool' you need to get the skinniest lycra jeans you can, sew yourself into them, get a tight black t-shirt with some kind of ironic 80's slogan/rock band and rip the sleeves off. Then back comb your hair, get some bad tattoos and some beaten up old vans, with NO SOCKS (this is key).
To top it off, you'll need to get a track bike with a freewheel, no brakes and some of those dildo handlebars. No need to ride, just push it around and stuff.
