@tom.
I did the hill climb in Bath that was filmed for this. It was absolutely brutal and the guy that won ("It's just a bike... with a lot of mythology attached to it") is massively strong - he isn't fast by forum standards, or scene standards, he's fast at club level. He's also not very "cool".
That said, while I'm sure that many of the people involved in Boikzmoind fall within hipster stereotypes to some degree or another (cough Francois cough), I know that I can see parts of myself in pretty much every year of the hipster time line yet I believe (rightly or wrongly) that I'm not exactly a hipster. I'm probably wrong though, as denying being a hipster is the first sign of being a hipster.
I'd say that - on average - the people in Boikzmoind are no more or less hipster-ish than the people posting in this threat.
Except Prancer, who isn't a hipster. Just a cunt.
