Slacky's Fashion tips

Many many people ask me, "Slacky, how can I be as cool as you". Well the short answer is, sorry, you can't. But people can get close. Here are some quick tips to help you on your way.

Get your self a fashion bike. Not only is it hip, cool and now!, but I ride one as well. This is reason enough. It also helps you aid in smoothing out your pedal stroke, scaring yourself and pedestrians, and increasing your leg size.

There are several ways you can get one. 

1/ Find an old road frame that has horizontal (ish) dropouts so you can tension the chain, and cobble something together. You'll still quite likely need to get a fixed hub tho.

2/ Steal one (this is not a reconmended option, it will end in pain)

3/ Find an old track bike (perfect, your all done, cept for a front brake)

4/ Buy a ready made fixie. There are several brands that do these, it's all the fashion to do a fashion at the mo.

My current Fav of these ready made fashions, is the SE racing Lager.

 Splashed with a liberal amount of Ano Red parts, steel frame for sturdiness, cool retro frame clips, check toptube pad so you don't scuff things up

 too much (helps protect and also stops the bike from sliding so much when 

leant against something). This is a pretty cool bike and will allow you to get all that much closer to the coolness that is Slacky. If I didn't already have my own hot fashion, this is what I'd buy.

Another way to bring up the style and cool point is the Musette bag, or feed bag. Small and light, it can fold up into a pocket nice and easily, it can fit a small amount of stuff, but it will up your cred immensly. These aren't overly common, and if you manage to find yourself a really cool old retro one, it will go a really long way to getting nearly as cool as me. 

The other type of bag you can get is the messenger bag. Used by couriers/messengers (smart that), it sling over the shoulders, meaning you can access the bag whilst still riding, and keeping the bag on you.

I gain extra cool points here, as this is my bag, and it has my birth year on it. Also from SE racingJust remember kids, it's not a competition, I'm just that much cooler than you all.

And the last Slacky fashion tip for the day, is hats. Cycling hats. You can wear them under your helmets, by themselves, wear it back to front, sideways (this is very very ghey) or the proper way. The peak althought small, can be worn flipped up, or down.

You may notice in some Bushlove Pics, Whacko is wearing one under his helmet, this makes him cool. However he looses what ever cool he has, cos he pulls his socks up his calves. This is wrong, very!!. But he is young, and will learn in time
