How do the hipster haters define a hipster anyhoo? For example, I've ridden a bike at least weekly from about the age of 6 and averaged prob 5X/wk for the last 20 yrs on all manner of velos. I'm not a messenger, I've never been a competitive cyclist nor ridden with a club until recently. I was attracted to fixed/ss riding primarily after an excursion to our fine capital a couple of yrs ago and noted as soon as I disembarked at kings X that every other cyclist was riding one, which made me think 'yeah I'm gonna get into that cos it looks like fun'. Am I a hipster in the rule book of 'what is a hipster'? Is there a certain criteria that hipsters must fulfill in order to be one? Pls enighten me. Thanks
