Not only are the bike and rider too clean, the picture is too clean too,

There are a bunch of young people here (and in many other cities, too)
who emulate the look of bike messengers. Expensive track bikes,
messenger bags, rolled up jeans, hoodies (in cool weather), they ride
around looking cool and hip. Some of them hang around with couriers
(almost like groupies) and attend courier events, and others just ride
about, looking for all the world like messengers - except for the most
part their bikes are a bit too expensive and they themselves are a bit
too clean.
Many couriers derisively refer to them as Fakengers or Hipsters.
Personally I have no problem with them; actually I think it's
flattering that they find "the look" attractive, and besides, anything
that gets people on bikes is a good thing:

BTW, the "title photo" for the blog features real messengers, scroll
down to see The Hipster...
Comments always welcome.
