[censored], sounds like gang wars. Having seen a total of maybe 4
minutes of bicycle racing in my whole life, I have no idea
what it looks like; if I find a jersey I like that's
yellow, now I have to worry about pissing off some jerk?

Rather doubt it. Some team jerseys are the same yellow, or
have enough that you would think it was at glance
(especially yellow and pale green).

Been around bicycle racing for about 30 years until
recently, and the only comment that I ever heard was when a
citizen rolled around in a national jersey (at Crofton, MD
about ten years ago). Now there are enough of those handed
out that everyone was trying to guess who it was, and then
he lined up for the citizens' race. A bit of ridicule for
that, but mostly among the racers and not very loud.

Racers don't worry, because you're in this years team
jersey for the race and you usually are expected to train
in this years or last for sponsorship. They know everyone
else is a citizen.

They why aren't there more fluorescent pink fire engines?

I think works best for daytime, not at night. Red and pink
are both colors that go brown under artifical and low light.

Once owned a red Neon that was a pain to find in a parking
lot at night.

I knew there had to be a good reason!

Pink's hot. I get plenty of favourable comments from women
when I'm wearing one of my pink jackets.

When I first started wearing pink, the effect was
noticeable. You do get seen in yellow but pink's
different. They stare at you.

I figure that when you're wearing pink, people think
you're feeble-minded so cut you some extra room. It's
amazing really.

I can say I've actually seen Zoot's pink jacket in the flesh
-- I think I'd give him some extra room myself :-)

I think I'd give Zoot a lot of room just on general
principle...

Le Mailot Jeune(Sp?) is a special jersey, with official TdF
logos on it and a rear zip, unlike any other yellow jersey
on the market.

If you like yellow, wear yellow. I've worn spotted jerseys
(nix logos) many times on mountain rides, and no one's
fussed about it. Especially if I've just passed them on a
hill. ;-3)

Claire saw the bright pink Sugoi jersey. It's hot pink
windproof nylon on the full-zip front, sleeves and
shoulders. The back and strip down each sleeve is wicking
black stretchy stuff. 3 pockets and reflective stips. It can
be worn as a long sleeve jersey or light jacket.

The other is a bright pink Louis Garneau MTB jacket with
some insulation and breathable stretch panels from the
stretch cuffs to the stretch waist. Two zippers on the back
pocket lets it work as added ventilation. It's comfortable
for spring and fall riding so I can wear it all winter.

Scored 'em both for less than ten bucks at the Sally Ann.

Yellow jackets look like security guards so you get no
respect.

You're thinking of the what they wear on the podium at the
end of the race. Those are made up on the spot for the
awards ceremony.

The "real" race leaders' jerseys are delivered in time for
the start of next day's stage.

Visibility is improved wearing yellow. It's the closest
color to the one that was selected for fire trucks and
emergency equipment -- that sort of lime-greeney-yellow
color. If someone makes a jersey in that firetruck
color, I'll give up the yellow.

Actually, if you're really concerned about visibility,
flourescent pink is the best color. Many studies have been
done on this subject, and pink always wins.

Start wearing a flourescent pink jersey, and we'll see...

You do that, and I start calling you "Simoni."

Have you people never heard of the Maglia Rosa? Giro
d'Italia?

Riding for the pink team isn't an insult in cycling. That
puts you on either ONCE's TdF team:

(they ride in yellow jerseys normally, but must switch
for the Tour)

Or T-Mobile's (formerly Deutsche Telekom) team:
