You know, I really like those Foska cycling tops with silly pictures on them. I know that I look a prat when I’m dressed like a tin of baked beans or a skeleton. But they are very good quality and comfortable.
They say that when you get to a certain age and your hair goes grey, you become invisible to the rest of the world when you are outside. So, you slip on your Foska baked beans cycling top and HELLO everyone is looking at you and grinning . An ego trip down memory lane.
Even worse are those Wallace and Grommit ones that have “ keep up lad” written on them. There’s a belief that the cycling or sporting superiority that you had when you were younger is still with you. Also , if you are from Essex or similar , you shouldn’t be wearing them at all ( only joking !!) because of the connotation with a northern accent.
So when you combine the daft cycling top with those cycling shorts with the chamois leather inserts ( and I do so like wearing them) an old geezer like me looks a complete ******.
Somebody tell me I am wrong.
