You must have small feet? Looks normal to me.

They're not pretentious; they're just exploring the world during their Rumspringa.

Panniers for your Penny Farthing, so you can be practical while riding the least practical bike in the world.

I'm guessing that's at the Palo Alto Apple store

Where does one even find a penny farthing today? I did some online searching a few years back and only found companies that would build custom order ones.

[–]nostalgicBadger 4 points5 points ago

They're easier to get ahold of now because hipsters created a market for them.

[–]ImAnOldfag 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nevermind, just looked at the pricing for one of those. Damn being a hipster is expensive.

[–]nostalgicBadger 2 points3 points ago

The stereotype is that most of them are trust fund babies, so yeah.

Has to be Boulder, CO.

I moved here from NY a year and a half ago. On my very first day, I saw some dude riding a unicycle down a secluded mountain road.

That's in downtown Palo Alto. You can see a reflection of the 'Borders' sign in the background that was until recently in business right across University Ave from that Apple store (it's the old Varsity theater).

The guy who owns that bicycle is seen everywhere, I guess he's mildly famous locally. A few years ago, he attempted to ride across country on that thing, got a fair amount of press for it here.... and didn't make it to Denver before he ran out of money.

He had no plan on how to get much further anyway, he just figured people would give him shelter and $$ along the way.

He was mistaken.

It was kind of bizarre in how.... well.... stupid it was all 'planned' and executed. Like watching someone one stage who is so, so bad, it's embarrassing but no one has the heart to tell that person to stop.

He's a friendly, nice guy; has a smile and a wave for people who say hi to him while on his bike. It was just a really bad plan to do a monumental ride.

thats an apple store design circa 2005. that is evident in several design things in the store such as the curved tables and the black panels aside the doors. Also if my memory serves me that sign is advertising OS X tiger's release which was released in 2005

Back when the word hipster meant something.

[–]redking315 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

i don't know what is sadder, the fact that someone rode that bike to an apple store, or the fact that I was able to date the picture with things like the black panels on the sides of the doors.

Unfortunately i'm inclined to go with the latter. I once told the difference between an AT&T and WiFi only ipad based on weight only, not the little plastic window ಠ_ಠ

I hate to tell you... but Penny Farthings are actually pretty fun to ride. I could care less about them being "cool". They are just hell to stop. Going down hill on one is a terrifying experience.

[–]Punkwasher 2 points3 points ago

Gears! Dammit! Fucking GEARS revolutionized bike riding! Riding that shit isn't being hipster, it's being stupid and inefficient, but hey, that must be quite a workout, I'll give 'em that. Especially uphill.

[–]FalseBuddha -4 points-3 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Gears are just so... boring. I'm not saying fixies or pennyfarthings are cool in any way. Those bikes aren't about being efficient. If they wanted efficiency they'd be riding a McLaren Venge.

Edit: What's with the downvotes? I've never had as much fun on a geared bike as I have on my singlespeed. I couldn't care less about efficiency on my bike.

Sorry, can't figure out the accent over the "e" right now.

What I love about this picture the most is that it's outside an apple store.

If I saw some one riding that I would have a hard time resisting shoving a sick in that wheel.

The guy who owns and rides that bike throughout Palo Alto, he's no hipster. He's about 50, dresses in gym shorts and a t-shirt when he rides it. Waves to everyone, friendly guy.

He also has a smile for everyone.

He's no hipster.
