How to be an Urban-Fixed Gear Hipster

How to be an Urban-Fixed Gear Hipster drops so many jewels of wisdom.

The Riding Outfit

A too-small T-shirt emblazoned with an obscure high school sports mascot is de rigeur, as is some sort of hat–either a vintage cycling cap, a Kangol-style Ivy, or some quasi-military khaki cadet cap.

Rolled-up jeans are required, and retro Vans slip-on shoes both look cool and eliminate the risk of laces getting caught in the chain.

Socks are optional, but if you go that route, it’s argyles or nothing.

Plastic-framed Buddy Holly glasses complete the look.

If you add Asian-themed tattoo “sleeves,” you get to move to the front of the hipster line.

I’m kind of surprised that there was nothing about drinking PBR.

    Overuse of the ‘h’ word is an epidemic on par with AIDS.

    Nick,
    I have to agree with you. I was listening to NPR yesterday and a reporter called Al Gore a hipster.

    You guys are retarded. That doesn’t look like Starmer. Except for the pinky ring, and the extreme drrunkinesss.
    That guy is narsty.
    Ira Glass reported to me on NPR that they called him a ‘hipster’ on the “OC”, yeah, you should have had a picture of Ira, he would’ve looked hotter with 2 PBRs and a lolling tounge.
    I agree with Nick the ‘h’ word is an epidemic. You know what is also an epidemic? Not CAPITALIZING SHIT!!! What the fuck is wrong with you people?

    You guys realize you’re in denial right? Gotta run, I’m off to Goodwill to get some too tight black jeans, a Mork & Mindy t-shirt and to pick up a case of PBR (who can drink that shit really?)
