When I first spotted Headline Shirts' Mission Taco shirt a few years back, I couldn't but find the stereotype of Mission hipsters over-the-top. Hilarious, no doubt, but I've never once seen a kid riding down the street holding a coffee in one hand and an Apple product in the other.
Well LIFE recently published this 1936 photo of Dutch track racer Piet Van Kempen, proving that stereotypes exist for a reason. Sure, the coffee is in a cup and he's not reading the news on a $499 brick of pixels, but just look at those pants. Plus, his hair looks like shredded cheese.
