(wait for it) BAKERSFIELD on it and NOT Fresno, I'll admit to paying attention.
This list comes from the Fixie Bike Index. From what I can gather, it takes the amount of fixie bixes per capita and equates that to how "hipster" a city is. That's really about as acurate as anything could be when you think about it.

Sure, maybe it's a good thing -- really I don't know. But you do think of a city being cooler if hipsters think it's cool (sadly). Plus, we have made nice strides in being a good biking city, you'd think there would be some stats to back that up -- or a spot on a bullshit list somewhere at least.

I lived in Eugene Ore. for a few months some years ago and let me tell you, anywhere in California is more hip than Eugene.
