Hipster Insight

[ZeroDarkBivi]

Just watched this really good investigation of Hipster Culture. Not much about the Hipster Cyclist, but an enlightening insight into into this lifestyle fad, which (as someone never 'on trend') I was naturally a bit cynical of. It all makes a bit more sense now, and fashion artefacts aside, perhaps there is a bit of hipster ideals in many of us.

Oh, I enjoyed that, I really did. Lovely insightful witty reportage.

As for exploring what the bicycle means to the hipster, can I refer the team to the most excellent blog http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.co.uk/ Ive been reading this since way back at the tail end of the dachshund of time. http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.co.uk/2009/ ... order.html

Very, very good ; including the word-of-the-week: "lumbosexual" (lum-BO-sex-u-al).
It surprised me the bloke on the receiving end of the comment didn't react, which suggests it's a common term around those parts .

Yeh interesting too, thought the presenter was amusing too. Will have to look for some more docs of his

The bearded guy, Mr Lumbosexual didn't look to me as he'd had anything done during his beard management experience. Pretty good documentary and explained a lot.
