Hipster nonsense of the day: The leather wine-rack for your bicycle
By Ben ReiningaJuly 15th, 2011, 12:30 pmComments (22)
It's not the biggest problem facing the young urban cyclist — that's how to roll up your skinny jeans to avoid bike-chain ensnarement. But what's the second biggest problem? Transporting bottles of wine. Until now.
Some folks out in Canada have been busy in their workshops, and now, for a mere $32, you can dangle your wine bottle ever-so-phallically between your thighs as you pedal across town to woo young women sitting in parks. And don't worry that the holster doesn't make room for glassware or a corkscrew. You can drink wine out of a Frisbee!
You'll forgive the departure from our ordinarily sacrosanct and God-driven mission, but it's a Friday in the summer — half of you are already drinking rose coolers on the ferry to Fire Island — and I'm a little cranky.

Looks more like Canada, not Cali.

that is TOTALLY Canada...
Dude, that was clearly photoshopped. I'm a Photoshop engineer, and I can tell. Canada was photoshopped in.
It's Montreal, Quebec. Where every corner store sells beer and wine.
I'm so confused. Is hipster bashing hip again or not?
Are you bashing hipster bashers? Cause that's not in.
I was totally on board with this product until the frisbee finale
Well then take some wine glasses with you, duffus.
I would drink it out of the bottle.
He's not a true hipster if he's endorsing leather. Just sayin.
Canadian hipsters are a bit more lenient as opposed to, those who oppose all here.
He's a true hipster if he's endorsing leather ironically.
You're welcome, world.
He's not wearing a helmet.
I'd rather just drink outta the goddamn bottle.
We the Dutch laugh at your stupid solutions for not existent problems.
First of he is carrying a bag that could fit a bottle. Second he should get a baggage rack on the back or on the front of his bike. Those also work great for transporting crates of beer, general groceries, friends, family, animals, and over-sized luggage. Third you only need one hand to steer and brake. Fourth this doesn't work on women bikes. And last but not least how can a girl bring a game of chess, a blanket, a frisbee, and an opener but forget her wine. I'm just saying, no need to invent the wheel all over again.
Linda, carry me away on your bicycle baggage rack! I'm ready!
it's funny that nerve is making fun of this hipster trend (which by the way is actually a very cool invention minus the frisbee part) when it is itself a hipster magazine. but i suppose they're being ironic which further emphasizes their hipster-ness. still love nerve though.
I think it's a send-up of that program out of Quebec, "How It's Made", in which no one ever speaks and the English voice-over is obviously replacing a French language track. And Linda, please acquire a sense of humor.
"How It's Made" is the greatest show on television. Brooks T Moore is the voice I hear in my head whenever I'm pondering something's engineering.
Saw a guy at Venice Beach yesterday with a wooden wine crate bolted to the carrier on the back of his bike.
Oh, the irony of anyone on this site making fun of hipsters. Like priests making fun of pedophilia...
