What is a hipster? Look at this fucking hipster...

So today I opened a mag called Wankers & Spunks, or something, and I flicked through it. It had an extravanganza on Mods (but get this, they're modern, yet retro! Or something) And elsewhere... an extravanganza on Rockers. Like they thought 'oooh next time we can do a piece on The House of York, and to balance it out, we can do a piece on the House of Lancaster! Cool! And Historical! With nice hair!')

But worst of all, within a minute, I saw separate sections with pictures of Saadat, looking earnest and stoned; Teddy, looking earnest and angry (in a Temple of Psychic Youth baseball cap! Really?); and Xander, looking earnest and camp. What the fucking fuck? Who's running that mag? Some fixielord with libido issues?

that's an old one, you should see the newest one.

A hipstophile.

I'd love to see one of those melts try and fix a puncture

Nah, they would just buy new wheels...

sumo, do you know where I can find a larger version of this? I want to inspect this huge shit heap more closely...

Definitely meant scoot.

hahahaha made me laugh also, in embarrassment, for him.

Isn't that the same bike that featured in this photograph in the Times that Sparky was annoyed about?

What a monstrosity.

Surely he must shit himself every time he gets on it?

How can you actually ride like that?

^Functional bikes thread >>>>>>>>>>>

Or...

What a piece of shit.

OR read the post above that to realize why you posted it.

It just looks like half the forum circa '08

^ this but also...

Surely he's on here, no?

No but seriously how? They're clearly not veteran track riders, so how the fuck doesn't someone who rides brakeless without clips ride faster than 5 mph without dying? Do they just brake with their sole on the tyre, or is it like emperor's new clothes; they think that's how it must be and just carry on blindly?

I can see the attraction in nobrakks etc. because of the adrenaline rush you can get form a death defying experience.

However, I cannot see the attraction in wearing 80s clothes whilst doing it. It's really not high fashion is it? it actually is a bunch of blokes wearing the clothes their dads wore down the youth wing in 1986 to impress the girls. With the addition of the ubiquitous hooded top, which nowadays carries no more suggestion of rebellion than sideburns lower than the ears.

Starburns, that's where the rebellion is, R.I.P.

The good thing is, you're their dad, so you're free to wear double denim without irony.

I rode a shonky path racer type beast with brakless/flat pedals for a couple months. Obviously you cannot go really fast, but you can go fast enough to warrant being on a bike and you can stop better than all the people on BSO's with two non-operational brakes. You can either do jamaican skids or just resist pedals to slow down.

No.

People still wearing skintight jeans. Yo, 2003 called, they want their strides back.

Really? I just bought my first pair. I thought perhaps they were coming back in.
Fucking hipster.

might be more at home in fail...
