I tend to recognise the full team Sky kits and i figure theyre just following pro cycling and supporting their team, usually too fast for me to race - although i think one of the real Team Sky guys is from MK. :cycle:

Are you uncomfortable with your sagacity?
Sorry you've lost me......

I'm beyond being politically correct enough to pretend not to be judgmental. I don't wear spandex or any team colours because I think they make cyclists look like twats (even the ones who actually race). But if people want to look like twats, that's their prerogative. As for getting old, I don't intend to do it without a fight either, but I think I can probably do it without looking like a twat or acting like a poseur.

I don't think wearing cycling specific attire constitutes anyone as being a "twat".

As far as wearing team kit that's upto the individual, but if I did I would have to put some extra effort in, as I would feel compelled to be travelling with some speed.

I don't see anything wrong with people wearing pro team kit, although I tend to wear my club kit as I'm proud to be a part of them.

Judgemental? Definitely. If you wear your jersey under your bibshort straps, I WILL judge you. And laugh. :biggrin:

if you walk it like like you talk it then you know you do no wrong

if I see someone in full team kit or on a flashy bike, it gets my attention

me, I wear anything up to team kit, got some team socks on sale five years ago, the cyclechat top is the nearest I get to team kit

I couldn't care less what people wear.
Everyone is different.
Let them wear what they like to wear, as long as it doesn't do any harm to others.
