Fixie Hipster Illustration (but it's not Rob Dobi's)
Well if you're already know yourscenesucks.com by Rob Dobi, maybe you're familiar with this kind of illustration about so called "scenesters", but this one about Fixie Hipster is not by Rob Dobi, this illustration created by Jessek at Flickr.
And here's below some explaination about the illustration:
About:
The latest craze in trust fund hipsterdom: the Fixed Gear Bike Poseur. This guy has crafted an image of himself as a 1%er bike messenger, except he's never worked a day in his life. He even carries his iphone in a radio holster so he can look extra authentic, though no one is dispatching him to jobs.
He reacted to the image of cycling enthusiasts known for wearing spandex shorts and riding 21 speed road bikes by wearing skintight jeans and riding a bike with only one speed. He secretly wishes he could be a real track bike rider and sport no brakes on his bike, but his cheap fixie from Urban Outfitters came with them and he's too chickenshit to take them off, nevermind lacking in any mechanical skill.
He likes to play tough guy and boast about using his lock to bash cars that cut him and fellow cyclists off, but he'd never do that because his life style of constant cycling in a low gear combined with a diet that consists of pretty much only PBR, American Spirits and whatever food his vegan girlfriend has in her refrigerator has left him weighing only about 100lbs.
His secret shames: His parents bought him an SUV, once wore a Livestrong bracelet and used to be a hardcore rollerblader back in junior high.
Look for him narrowly avoiding pedestrians in these locales: Williamsburg, San Francisco, Portland, Austin and Denver. But do it soon before he decides this trend isn't working and sells off all his gear to start his next big thing, most likely a bad cocaine habit.

MASH SF x PAM “Magic Lantern Cyklez” T-Shirt
P.A.M. and leading bike crew MASH SF join forces to pay tribute to P.A.M.’s upcoming “Magic Lantern Cyklez” retail shop. Although MASH SF’s signature shield is integrated into the design, the majority of the visuals are more attuned to P.A.M.’s own personal aesthetic. Some re-appropriation of age-old iconography makes for something relevant to the shirt’s central bike theme. The shirt will be available through both P.A.M.’s Melbourne flagship Someday and MASH SF in San Francisco as well as select retailers.
