:P As a NA fan the premier league is probably what most people watch.

Since when loving Le Tour de France is hipster?  :blink:
In England. Rapha shops serving ristretto double espressos to people watching the Tour.

It's a relatively recently popular thing.

When I was in London last week there was this bike themed coffee shop (ironically named "Look mum no hands") in Islington that I went to twice. Definitely hipsterish, it even had a bike workshop attached to the coffee place. And they showed the Tour de France every day.

Lovely little cafe.

The bike/coffee shop combo is very cool right now. Two opened down the road from me in the space of a week :lol:

Edit: And apparently Look mum no hands! have now also got places on the South Bank, in Hackney and a pop-up in a Le Coq Sportif shop :lol:

Edit: Also I remember two-three years ago looking for somewhere to watch the Tour in London and Look mum no hands! was the only bar. Now it's very common in hip places.

Whitehorse was ahead of this particular curve.  There was/is a long-standing bike shop that opened a coffee roaster / bar in the back.  So you'd walk past the racks of bikes and accessories to go get your pound of beans. :Canuck:

Me. :( I didn't realize speed folk had left glam behind. :(
