  1. 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 :-)

    So its another team kit that assumes you have a back up team car with mechainic for when the black
    oil caked chain comes off.

    Just thought - Cipo's zebra kit would be fine for wiping your oily hands on.

    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].

    Promotion material if ever I saw it.

    East Herts you say? I'll keep a look out for you.

    Don't worry - I have nothing against bib-shorts.

    If they're not paying him he shouldn't be working for them!
