Your dad was a hot blooded beast. When Old Man Winter rolled into town, he poured a glass of “fuck you” and gave a middle finger salute to the cold. He was an optimist who could see the benefit in every situation.  When winter rolled into town, he realized it was nature giving him the largest walk-in beer cooler known to man and an excuse to keep growing in his face-scarf.

So hipsters, when you’re bitching about the cold while wearing a jean jacket with multiple layers of cardigans under it because winter jackets aren’t cool, remember this…

No matter how cold it got, your dad never had shrinkage. 

To all my Michigan followers, I’ll be doing a book signing in Clarkston just before the holidays. Come out and have a drink, pick up a signed book, and meet my dad. 

Listen, your dad doesn’t need another tie for Christmas. Why not give him a gift that says “You’re way more badass than I ever will be.”

Pick him up a copy of Dads are the Original Hipsters (it’s cheap enough that you can afford it on your barista salary).

Listen up hipsters, did you honestly think vintage bikes were a new thing? No, your dad was a two-wheeled king before you were even falling off training wheels. 

So, when you’re dusting off your dad’s old velo-swag in the garage and thinking about stealing his pedal-whip because you want to convert it to the most badass fixie ever, remember that your dad marked his territory by tea bagging the top-rail. You can wash a frame, but you can’t wash away memories.
