Here is a link to a white handlebar icon I whipped up.

This is what it looks like (in jpg format which is a little different):

Edit: I could also do this in the Bike Arlington Blue…might be a better match.

If you are a hipster, can you be ELITE in the awesome sense and in the sarcastic/negative sense at the same time? Or maybe you can be awesome ELITE when you want and negative ELITE when you want, or don’t want. Or maybe it’s a label that others apply to you and the hipster has no control over which ELITE mode he is in?

(Sorry. Usually there are annotations stating that no animals were harmed in the making of a film or a photo. But in this case, I think the warped vibes caused by semantic confusion has caused a can of Pabst Blue Ribbon to explode violently somewhere. Maybe in Adams Morgan. Maybe in NoMa. Maybe downtown. Or maybe somewhere not usually thought of as hip, like K Street.)

Could anybody look at that person and say to their face, “Hey, I just un-ELITEd you!”

Imagine how much better life (and your rides) would be if you could un-ELITE people…

One proposed edit (inspired by another thread):
Drivers can also be ELITE.

ELITE driving behavior includes indications of the driver’s belief that he or she is (1) the most important person in the world (or at least that the 15 seconds he/she will save by being ELITE is more important than someone else’s life); and/or (2) riding in the DMV-Grand Prixe.

Thoughts? Like if you think it should be included; ELITE if you don’t

I think it’s ELITE when a driver says on a forum “if bikers want to share the road, they should pay for it” or “no subsidies for bikeshare or trails” (but subsidies for cars are OK).

It’s also ELITE when someone complains about scofflaw cyclists (because we all know that no driver has ever gone faster than the speed limit or ran a red light or drove while drunk or drove while texting).

Yes and no.
