[QUOTE 2829121, member: 45"]The difference is (and note that I'm talking generally and not making it personal to you) that cyclists wear jerseys when they're out riding. Not in a stadium, but down the High St. And so they're not part of that group which is seen differently. I've seen Bibendum chasing cyclists up a mountain on the Tour and not thought it out of place, but he'd get a few second looks walking through town.[/quote]
I get you point - i have only just received my personalised jersey and as yet it hasn't been worn. But it will be worn in winter months ( as its a winter jersey) for my commutes to and from work and on solo training rides.
The difference with me is, i can do a solo training ride of circa 50miles and not see another cyclist also the name isn't blazed accross the back of the jersey as people may think - its pretty discreet down the sides. so unless you pull up right beside me, it wouldn't really be seen. Would i wear it on club rides, no as i would wear club kit for that.
i also don't question other peoples purchases as they have the right to purchase what they desire, as its their money to do with as they so wish. but for some reason people take it personally when others purchase things they don't like or desire themselves.
