Tandems are a bit mainstream for me. I saw a guy in Shoreditch on an actual penny farthing.
Oh this comment made me laugh way too much
I have a tandem. It’s a lot of fun. I don’t have a dog to ride on my shoulders, though. I wish I did.
Must take a lot of yoga to be able to do that.
This is kind of reckless! And dangerous for you, the dog and other road users. But it’s “quirky”
They don’t look like hipsters, they look more like tourers, viz sensible dress, stout hiking boots and helmets. In fairness lots of tourers are a bit weird but I think they prefer the term “eccentric” as opposed to “quirky”.
I think this post is just another example of how anything non mainstream or unusual is just immediately blamed as “damn hipsters” without any understanding about hipsters or what is being blamed on them.
“blamed” for what? :)
Being annoying in charge of a bicycle
Heh :)
Sure that could be me, and I aint no hipster
My point entirely!
Well not really but still a good one. Actually my point was that more often these days any sort of affectation or eccentricity can lead to somebody being called a hipster when infact they are not hipsters at all or so far down the hipster scale as to be incomparable to actual hipsters.
What are “actual hipsters” then, seeing as you appear to be an expert hipsterian?
Saw a hipster couple on a normal bicycle the other day – she sitting on his lap facing him as he pedalled. I think they believed they were the stars of a kitsch 1960s Hollywood romcom.
Two people having fun, and one looking on sourly. Which did you think you’d grow up to be?
If you want to be judgemental about it, it was more a case of two dickheads showing off and nearly causing an accident.
