Unexpected Types
We all know that there are only two types of cyclists, right?
Well, I happened to see this cyclist the other day at the grocery store:
Now I’m confused. Which of the two cyclist types is he?
Yeah, the stereotypes don’t make much sense.
It would kind of be like classifying all drivers like this:
Another cyclist type, recumbent rider with aero belly and beard.
Very nice! No stereotypical cyclists here: PracticalCycle.com/customers
Hmmm… why did the hipster roll up his right/drive-side pant leg? He is wearing skinny jeans, for chrissakes! No need…
He’s a commuter! I dunno, though: are we considered true cyclists?
Are bike gangs (such as they are in Boston) a fourth type, or [unfairly] lumped in with hipsters?
No helmet, non aero clothing, flat pedals, upright position etc seems to point towards the hipster. The oxygen tank is probably an ironic accessory or a new hipster fad.
