Hipster Road Biking...

There are plenty of reasons to get into hipster road biking.


For one: age. Bikefags can’t keep riding around our cities drinking Sparks and executing no-handed trackstands and barspins forever. It’s time to grow up and find an affectation more suitable to our post-art-school/pre-English-graduate-program lifestyle.

Arguably the most important reason to try hipster road biking is for the self-importance it affords among your local bikefag community. Odds are, most of your track-biking, bar-spinning bikefag friends know next to nothing about road biking. This allows you the chance to say stuff like, “Yeah, I just rode a quickie this morning. Maybe three. Did about 4,000 feet of climbing, then some LT work. I’m training for some crits later in the season.”

Cycling is everything that (hawk, spit) fashion is not.
