So, whats the go with wearing jerseys such as world champ, Aussie champ, Tdf yellow and King of the Mountains etc. I always thought you needed to earn the right to wear some gear.
I guess the same could be said for team kit although that doesnt assume individual hard work, effort and achievment etc.
Funny story, a mate of mine was following some "tosser" up Greenhill road a few years ago in the World Champs kit, was going to say something tongue in cheek to him when he caught up, turned out it was actually Cadel

I will have to make a youtube vid about this. Get a WC jersey and have a laugh with the local bunches.

It doesnt really matter IMHO. Your promoting cycling. Its like riding a team bike you bought. Who cares really. Just get out and ride. Too many roadies care about exact sock height and bar tape width diameter. 

Cycling etiquette that matters.

1. Avoid half wheeling.

2. Roll over easy vs being a sergio.

3. First rider over the climb goes back down for the last rider.

4. If your riding with less fit people, make the ride easy enough that  they will want to come back.

5. If a noob drops off your wheel, slow up and hold an even pace so they dont get dropped again.

I dont care what jersey, groupset or bike you ride. As long as your out there, thats all that matters.

Now can we wrap this up and get out to ride!

Wear what you like, ride what u like a burn those joules!
Well said Durian Rider!

Without really wanting to kick off the discussion again, saw this on GreenEdge's facebook page today and think some members here were interested in these

Anyone looking for Simon Gerrans National Champ jersey, or Svein Tufts and Fumy Beppu's respective champ jerseys, get your pre order in ASAP

With the 3rd highest electricity prices in the world, and soon to be the dearest. Interest rates that are too high, ridiculous petrol prices, enormous slumps in the building, manufacturing and retail sectors, an absolute useless Government, appalling roads, more and more AUSTRALIAN brands and companies being closed down or shipped overseas to sweatshops because of piss weak tariff protection from our useless Government again, and all people are whining about is Replica Jerseys. You stuck up toffs need to wake up and realise that if the so called tossers didnt support this sport by purchasing this gear, and attending racing and spending their hard earnt money to support YOU, the sport would not be growing as fast as it is. Suck it up and be proud of the fact that people actually give a shit about you and what you do before they all head back to mainstream sport like footy and cricket.

+1 David. All the fun just got sucked away. 

Maybe someone should restart the discussion about helmets since there has been a lot of fall out with this topic.........*Angus hitting my head with his Adelaide Cyclist cap*

I can hear the ocean.

I can hear a possum thunder over the roof beams...
