Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

I hate that that pretty much describes me. Without the Aerospoke and I don't match my Vans with my bag.

I refuse to believe I'm a hipster.

do you guys seriously not have anything better to talk about? this is like back when I was into punk music and we'd sit around complaining about kids in blink 182 shirts calling themselves punks and thinking we were badasses because we listened to Black Flag. Well, I guess we were badasses for that.

Should be more like:

No bag
Tight Pants (no matter the price)
Something on from the Bins (PDX)
Last shower was two days ago
Wornass vans that dont match anything
Heading to the Tube on Tuesday nite. (PDX)



Risers are common among non hipsters too.
People who match clothing are called people with style.
