I saw a hipster this morning, dressed as one of the waltons, but with a big victorian waxed moustache and hobnail boots de-laced and splayed theatrically at the ankle. He was riding a home-made easy-rider style peddle bike. He was sat very very low on his peddle bike. Almost like a child's tricycle height. The bike was very long from front to back. He had just crossed the busy road on his peddle bike and discovered that he couldn't get it up the tall kerbstone on the other side. He was desperately trying to get it up the kerbstone without facing the indignity of getting off this stupid thing and lifting it onto the footpath.
The traffic was building up quite a head of steam behind him as his legs paddled and plapped ridiculously about like a wet frog trying to gain purchase on a teflon slope. Horns started honking, shouting happened, and this ridiculous buffoon of a man continued faddling and groiling at the insurmountable kerb.
Eventually these two geezers in a van got out and marched over like YOU FACKIN' WHAT GUV? then bodily lifted the style-clown and bike as one... lifted him up like a child onto the kerb, depositing him down with no grace, then returning to their van to drive off.
The hipsters legs continued peddling thin air as they lifted him, and then when they put him down rather suddenly he wasn't prepared. He fell over sideways. Leg trapped under the frame and his own beanpole weight.
So I then had the pleasure of a few moments watching him flamp and gipper about on the pavement like a fish before I eventually grew tired and cycled off.
He probably died of dehydration at some point this afternoon, after shufting himself on his side into a waste space beneath the public benches along the sea front.
