Yellow Jersey

[Accy cyclist]

I wear a king of the mountains red polka dot jersey when i'm climbing the hills at a paltry 6mph,

But dont wear the King of the mountain jersey because that will make you look like a ladybird or a prat :0)

I wear a yellow jersey sometimes, seems to attract a fair number of scalpers, not difficult in my case!

Especially if you're short and tubby like some i can think of.

I find it a bit of a cheek that some racing cyclists try to imitate me in my yellow Aldi jersey. Normally only one in each race has the nerve to do it, but one's enough.

reminds me of when wiggins went to ring the bell at the 2012 olympics' opening ceremony in a bog standard jersey in the colour of yellow (not le maillot jaune)…

a rule of thumb is to not wear kit awarded for endeavour or achievement (e.g. team gb or any of the leaders' jerseys from the tdf). 'round this way i do see a lot of genuine team gb riders and the occasional sky rider, so both of these kits are a bit of a faux-pas locally…

For pros maybe. For everyone else - wear what you like. You want to wear a maillot jaune or a polka dot jersey, or replica world champ stripes? If you like it, wear it.

I rather fancy getting one of those Mondrian La Vie Claire jerseys. Monsieur Hinault may not approve, but I'll deal with that problem in the unlikely event that it ever arises.

Just be careful of what it looks like from a distance

I find light colours always pick up grime,marks,a lot quicker.
