You know, a few years ago people would have been going crazy for these shirts, but now people seem more interested in one-upping each other over whose bike looks most like something a hobbit would ride around Middle Earth. Pity. I'm sure the "no brakes" message will send some message-board granddads into fits of apoplexy too. More details on the shirts here.

Hobbits around middle earth? I guess I don't follow.
Ugly shirts, someone wants to make money with cyclists and later drives home his car...
Do people even care about no brakes anymore?

Haha, no way Prolly, I was referring to how everyone seems to be lusting over Rivendell-style "practical" bikes theses days, with lots of emphasis on crap like panniers. Those bikes are really boring to me.
hehe ahhhh! it was ALL in good fun.

sooo...full circle? Does this mean we'll see more "Give Hipsters a Brake" styled t-shirts as well? looks like the reset timeframe for fixed gear culture is about 5 years. Can't wait for the next wave of "no brakes" shirts in 2014! Apoplectic enough?
