Not universally, of course. But Brompton riders are a subset of hipsters. And hipsters are a subset of Brompton riders.

@steveindenmark has an association with Bromptons. It's not explicit, and it's not universal. I've joined in because the original article was funny, not because it gave away anything to Brompton riders.

Sorry I need evidence that B riders are a subset of hipsters. I just don't see it at all.

You don't think some of them are a little eccentric?

As weird as a full grown bloke on a toy scooter, no.

Not a leather handle in sight.

Brompton riders may be a lot of things, but I don't get the hipster angle either.

Middle-aged man mostly. And if they have a beard, it's not normally a trendy beard.

Admittedly, they (we) do spend a lot of money on anything related to Bromptons.

A hipster wouldn't be seen dead on a Brompton, it would have to be a fixed gear, or single speed if they were just learning to ride/hip.
