    I think Edscoble has just come up with a lovely new collective noun

    Bikesnob

    If the simple act of recreational cycling warrants this sort of mythologizing (sic) then there's no way the average person is going to feel comfortable simply hopping on a bicycle without sufficient backstory or an adequately expensive wardrobe. Incidentally, fixed-gear riders really should stop congratulating themselves for riding their bicycles more than a few miles at a time, especially since they stop pedaling just as much as riders with freewheels. I see "hipster coasting" [edit] and I spotted at least two instances of it in this video
