    Apologies if the intricacies of the Scottish language is lost on you all 😀
    But I’ve noticed a few derisory comments about people wearing sky kit to sportives etc. why is it considered naff?

    How was it ridiculous? WHITE socks and BLACK shoes….really??

    I wear socks, sometimes white ones, but that’s because I have white shoes…..

    As for your “hippy wank” comment, if people don’t want to wear shoes, that’s up to them, who are YOU to say what’s right and wrong….

    And if you *are* riding a team bike in team kit, you’d better be dropping people on the climbs 😉

    The only time white bar tape
    The only time white bar tape looks good is when the bike is sitting in the window of the LBS.

    Why not wear what you want?
    Why not wear what you want? I agree that you shouldn’t mix teams kits ie sky shirt omega shorts. And I also wouldn’t wear a yellow jersey or world champs but I see no reason why you shouldn’t support your favourite team. Just like football fans wear their team shirts. Cycling is a great sport and is extremely all encompassing with people of all walks of life enjoying the benefits. Lets not berate someone for wearing a sky top. We should be encouraging people to participate in something we all love and enjoy.

    I don’t wear sky, I wear
    I don’t wear sky, I wear planet x, Hovis and freebee trektravel jersey care of a roadcc competion win. Again, if you hate sky kit, yellow, pink, polka dot, green, rainbow or any other pro team. sell the bike and take up golf. Thats where you belong.

    This is not a pro rider. He was wearing a Sky jersey in local club ’10’ last night:

    Would you tell him to his face that he looks wanky?

    Thought not.

    There was a 13 year old kid at the same event in a British Cycling skinsuit (not the first I’ve seen), racing a 2-up with his Dad. Is he wanky too?

    Screw it. Wear yellow, pink,
    Screw it. Wear yellow, pink, polka dots, green, sky or Rainbow. But please honor the jersey with your sweat and graft because the true winners had to work for it. Sites like velominati are complete bollocks. The authors should take up golf instead. Instead educate people, bring in new riders. Share it, don’t add barriers to entry.

    They would have a fit if I turned up, I’m still using my shimano stormtrooper mtb shoes, mtb spd’s and a giro hex with shock horror, a peak!

    Only had my road bike 4 weeks, really enjoying it and couldn’t give a toss if I’m not conforming.

    As for The Rules… well it
    As for The Rules… well it is a very toungue in cheek site, and a lot of folks out there do seem to take what they say to heart and get offended. Chill people, it’s not worth getting wound up about it.
