^ +1. What's the problem with the color of another rider's jersey?

C'mon now, what you think your a tour de France champ for wearing a yellow jersey? The reason I bring this up is because I see alot of guys wearing yellow. I really doubt these guys love the colour yellow. They just want to pretend they are champs in their own little world.
I wear a yellow jersey when i ride.. whats the issue? Just so happens, my bike, gear and kit are all from the yellow jersey bike shop.. who are also a MAJOR sponsor for my home club. Not to mention that yellow is a high vis colour.. safer for road riders and makes it easier for them to have a laugh coz you're too busy noticing their jersey colour and stack it. I think you should get over it.. to me sounds like your envious of the yella' joisey wearers..

My mates have begun forcing me to wear yellow after witnessing the incredible speeds I don't achieve on offroad downhills.

They also make clucking noises and flap their arms when they pass me.

I sometimes try to go faster of course, but I find wearing a yellow top and brown shorts properly embarassing (It clashes! Well, it makes me look like part of a wasp anyway.)

My advice: if you do insist on wearing a logo on your top, make sure it's on the back so I can read it. And I really don't mind what colour.

I like the hi viz features of the yellow and gold jerseys. I am looking for a Maglia Rosa for these foggy days.
