I bought a pro team cycling jersey…

    … and matching shorts. It is from a new, up and coming team who have just competed in their first grand tour. The design is quite simple with some lucky symbols on it. No one on the team has been busted for drug use (yet, as far as I know.) I often hear people on these forums saying that team jerseys need to be ‘earned’. Well I sat at my job for 35 hours a week and talked to people, some of which weren’t very intelligent; and one of which threatened to stab me in the neck because he had spent all his money. I then went to their website and bought the kit with the money I had earned; anyone can do it apparently. I imagine my money will go to help support the team next season. Do you think this is a righteous transaction, or would you scorn me for my sartorial choices?

    Well, black is slimming, especially if you like Milk Tray. However, all choice will be abolished under the coming Hi-Viz apocalypse.

    Cycling is about enjoying

    Cycling is about enjoying yourself and not caring about other people’s opinions. As long you enjoy wearing it, then good for you.

    Good on you, buy and use

    Good on you, buy and use whatever you want if it makes cycling more enjoyable.  We fight enough numpties in all other walks of life not to have to worry about what other self absorbed cyclists think and choose to critisise other cyclists over.  If you can afford it and enjoy it, go for it.

    I did meet someone at a youth hostel once who wore a world championship jersey as pyjamas which i did think was a bit odd though.
