Those are some crazy messed up jerseys. I'm all about wearing jerseys to get attention but those are nuts.
Right on man! hahaha.kleng said:Just imagine what comments everbody would get if we wore these Northwave Jerseys, I'm quite partial to the skeleton outfit, notice the matching gloves
PartisanRanger said:Yea, I'd thought about it before but I don't think I'm gonna go buy the yellow jersey, national champ jersey, etc. and end up looking like a Lance wannabe (though we all are in some way or another ). I ride with my UVA jerseys or pro team jerseys.
If it is a replaca Maillot Jaune, with the Credit Lyonnais logo then I would agree that I would not wear it; however, if it is just a plain, yellow jersey without a sponsor or race name, then I would have no problem wearing it. Orange is also highly visible, but as a University of Kentucky alumnus, there is no way I would way orange.Aussie Steve said:Wembley1: if the Yellow Jersey is a replica of a Maillot Jaune, then maybe others may have an issue with it. However what a rider wears is his or her own personal choice.
Whilst I would never buy or wear a national champion jersey or yellow jersey, if I see others wearing one, I would think "not something I would do, but each to his own....free country and all that..."
However I saw a picture of a Colombian National Team jersey and I reckon it looks really nice, the colour and all that... so I would be happy wearing that.
Just my own opinion....
Malliot Jaune, no way Jose! Plain yellow, sure!RickF said:If it is a replaca Maillot Jaune, with the Credit Lyonnais logo then I would agree that I would not wear it; however, if it is just a plain, yellow jersey without a sponsor or race name, then I would have no problem wearing it.

HAHAHAHA...nice man that's a funny story.southwind said:For some reason this year I've been getting waved at by Harley riders. I don't know, maybe after they watched American Chopper and saw the motorcyle that was custom built for Lance they think cyclists are semi-cool. I've been yelled at a few times, but the worst was being shot 7 times with an automatic paint ball rifle. The guy was actually a good shot, nice tight pattern.
mezzinator said:I have a friend who I've ridden with who yells at the smallest thing. A car might go fairly close to him and they get a barrage of "Learn to drive you f*****g dickheads, f*****g hell!! Get off the f******g road!!!!"
It is f*****g hilarious and he's a joy to ride with.
mezzinator said:Although when I occasionally wear my T-Mobile top I've had other riders yell stuff like "It's Jan Ullrich, HEY, Lance went that-a-way!" - All in good fun.
Yeah, that bloke who stares at you in the mirror whenever you do your hair in the morning!!!izzythedan said:Hmmm. I think I might know him.
But its PINK!!!
hd reynolds said:I think you ought to read it again because you got a lot of things wrong.
1) I did not say I pointed the gun at him. I said I flashed (not point) my Glock.
2) Where in the post I said I challenged a motorist? Do you comprehend English?
3) The threat was there and he yelled he'll shoot me (and I was only coasting when he drove alongside me). I wanted for him to pass but he drove alongside continued yelling. When he didn’t pass even when I was already slowing down that’s the time I let him know I am armed.
4) I have a permit to carry my gun.
5) I know how to handle guns and I only fire them on the shooting range where I have a membership.
6) I carry for self defense coz I know 2 people, one of them is my bro, who had their mega-buck bikes snatched from them while riding.
7) And specially if I am riding alone out of city center I am armed to protect myself.
Next time don’t make any misinformed judgements and assumptions. Saves a lot of embarassment. And you talk about ambassadorship?
My T-Mobile jersey isn't pink. Besides, living in the Bay Area, I don't think anyone would flinch if I were to wear a pink cycling jersey.izzythedan said:But its PINK!!!
let me think... black combats, ratty offensive t-shirt, trainers, leather jacket if it looks like rain and scuffed shades, riding a rusty hybrid with welded forks and woven spokes that creak alarmingly when the temperature changes... anyone harassed me? I dunno I'm too busy harassing the rest of society to notice!Has anyone ever harassed you for wearing the cycling outfit?
You hit the nail on the head. Whenever someone yells an insult at me while riding I'm thinking, you try this lard ass and we'll see who the ***** is.FloydLandis said:Really, who are the "fags" I would have to believe the people yelling at you and your nice looking fit torso and a chizzled set of legs are the real "fags". I get yelled at all the time and just say thank you. It just means someone is noticing my harrd work and is secretly telling me i look damn good. I usually get stuff thrown at me though by the rednecks in my area. That is not as much fun. So to all us "fags" keep riding on knowing that we are the ****.
