Mass Hipster?

I wanted to make a list but I was trying to save pixels.

They give thanks..

If you want to see really short leg to torso ratios, go to the Japanese Velodrome thread:

Pixels.. pixies.. it's all the same blurry shit in front of my eyes.

2 hipster threads at once?

People who care about the way they look are hispters.
People who picked up a fixed bike after the first 20 people in london started riding fixed are hispters.
People with bikes that include a colour other then black or a colour scheme are hispters
People who do tricks on their fixed wheel bikes are hispters
People who use the term fixie are hipsters
People who use Aeropokes are hispters, but people who abbreviate aerospoke to arrospok (SP?) are not (wtf is that about?)
People who make aesthetic choices alongside or over the top of technical considerations are hispters.
People who ride fixed wheel bikes and are young are hipsters
People who ride fixed wheel bikes and do creative jobs or are students are hipsters.
People who ride fixed wheel bikes just because they think they are the kool are hipsters.

Basically people who ride fixed wheel bikes that some one doesn't like is a hipster.

But its weird. Its meant to be offensive. But usualy labeling something cool is good. I think its really an attempt to attack people with no substance, and is away for people who aren't interested in being kool and trendy to separate themselves from those that appear to be. Both those that want to remain alternative to not let it become mainstream and those that are just not interested in being the guardian's next stereotype use it. The old guarding against the new. But in truth I think its a term used by those who have ridden fixed for a while to seperate and look down on those who have started it up newly. Particularly those of the messenger/punk/alt/clone thing to look down on those who are all shoreditch and mainstreamy. Its a broad term, used by many to mean different things but basically to imply a lack of originality and bandwaggoning, and as with most terms like that is often mis-used and overused.

You may have guessed I don't like it. Its a stupid term designed to create a hierarchy within those who ride fixed wheel bikes rather then create community, or at least a tiered one with the users of the term at the top and subjects of the term at the very bottom.

And as you can probably guess I get called a Hipster and definitely tick a few of the boxes for the term. I like riding bikes and I have a sense of style. So fucking what?

nicely said. best explanation so far.

Well there you go! I always thought tall people made the best track cyclists.

ASM hitting the keirin scene soon I expect.

if your worried about being a hipster..... your probably not a hipster.

Pixels.. pixies.. it's all the same blurry shit in front of my eyes.

Pixel Geldof:

quite the contrary...

Well there you go! I always thought tall people made the best track cyclists.

the keirin racers are essentially sprinters though, which means they carry more muscle mass than endurance riders, they are also Japanese, a nation not known for producing giants. The body armour coupled with the long tailed jerseys, accentuates the size of the torsos in that picture.

SFAIK height has fuck all to do with it. yes some of the pursuiters are tall, but not *that *tall.

it's all about your power levels and how you output that power that determines how you can best use your talents. there are tall sprinters and short pursuiters, it's all gravy

I like gravy

they are also Japanese, a nation not known for producing giants.

Quite unlike the country. Here's the Japanese Giant Spider Crab:

The Japanese Giant Hornet:

And the Japanese Giant Salamander:

Not to mention:

Thats one big salamander

Ho-ry Shit! Even we don't have crabs that big..

it scared that bloke so much he seems to have pissed his shorts in fear…

That's a brave man that holds a Giant Hornet in his hand

If their crabs are that big, I wouldn't like to catch one of their lobsters.

If their crabs are that big, I wouldn't like to catch one of their lobsters.

If their crabs are that big I'm never f**king a Japanese bird.

Hornets are actually not very aggressive at all.

And the Japanese Giant Salamander:

i'm recovering from flu so an not going to read all the pages in this thread, but from an outsider view hipsters are invented to keep the black man down and come in the form of over sized west london based giant cycling hornets.

But be careful what you say because SuperPrecise is one. now its clear
