Took delivery today of my HSBC cycle kit. The company I work for actually sponsor a South African cycle team and to show solidarity (and take advantage of a staff discount!) I now own a set including my first ever pair of bibshorts (sorry Helen but they came as part of the package)
So am I sad riding in my employer's colours and providing free advertising?

As I understand it, owning a pair of bibshorts is not, of itself, worth a slabbing. Wearing them, however, puts you at very high risk indeed.

Don't think so, it seems to be the thing to pay more if the manufacturer has screen printed or embroidered his logo on the front of a garment rather than on a small label inside the neck. Of course this doesn't apply to British Home Stores, Millets, Littlewoods..oh....and come to think of it HSBC...sorry, you're sad :-)

If it was me, I'd wear it. At least for the commute. No point getting your own nice stuff worn out and turning up on the bike in full company kit is only going to help the company to encourage cycling to work.

I can see it now -- riding through the factory gate, wearing the company shirt, singing the company song, kissing the MD's [censored].
