Who hates Sam Brown

[summerdays]

And I'm wondering what effect wearing a hi-vis vest to bed would have - I suspect Mr Summerdays would just stand there laughing

That and a shotgun bungied to the top tube...

Careful, I think Slomo might have patented that design.

I usually cycle in black gear and a silver SB is my retro-reflective concession.

Adidas Black Techfit Tracksuit for me on the bike - with a rather fetching NiteZone Yellow/Orange/Reflective strip waistcoat.

Sam Browne in backpack for emergencies - its over twenty years old and I can't bring myself to part with it. I passed my Motorbike test with it on.

I suspect .jpgs are required for the men of the forum to judge

No. Its alright, I have a very good imagination.

Dammit, I'm wondering if hi-vis pyjamas would be a winner as a comedy gift for that cyclist in you life who has everything....

Tom used to joke that my Rainlegs (if I'd worn them with nothing else, I never did BTW) looked like some sort of bondage gear, perhaps I should couple them with a hi-vis waistcoat for the full effect.*

*the effect in question being to send men run away screaming...

I'm picturing a female version of Chuffy doing his YMCA poses.

I know my wife rolls about laughing when I put on my leg warmers before the bibs. She thinks it looks weird.

Originally a belt and shoulder strap used for carrying ammunition or a shoulder holster, I believe but incorporated into many military uniforms.

Nowadays refers to a reflective belt / sash of the same pattern.

And yes, I feel like I'm 12 when wearing one, so I use a hi viz waist coat with reflectives.

I to wear a hi viz waist coat, I wouldn't wear a sam brown

Bibs on first, then leg warmers. Though you have to roll the legs of your bibs up, at least it saves your dignity.

I bought my first Sam Browne today after a minor collision on Friday. I have to say I feel incredibly visible in the office, hopefully that will transfer to the roads!

At first I thought you meant this Sam Brown
