Wear yellow

[rdp_au]

I tend to wear yellow most days, but today's yellow has particular significance.. Well done Cadel, a humble and very deserving winner.

Never have, never will.
Sad.
Congratulations on him winning, but nothing worse than non pros wearing a full replica kit, maglia rosa, KOM kit etc.

Got called Cadel more than once on the way to work this morning wearing yellow- but in a nice(ish) way
Cheers

I got called something else when I was cycling to work this morning. A bloke in a car yelled out something that wasn't "Hey Cadel- good on ya!". Maybe I only heard the last word of them saying "I'm a ------!", because they weren't riding a bike like Cadel.

The only yellow I had was my helmet and HTC cap under it.

So the feel good factor about cycling hadn't extended to that motorist. Just a normal commute for me

Wore my yellow short sleeved jersey today at the Fountain Gate shopping centre, through Big W, KMart, Coles supermarket, and the food court. A few sideways glances, but no comments.

The only downside was my wife grumbling at me for refusing to wear a jacket over the top because of the long walk to Fountain Gate through the freezing cold.

I loved every minute of it and never felt cold once, even though I normally never stop whinging whenever the temperature drops below 12 degrees.

Go Cadel you are the man!

Wore my yellow jersey at work..... all day. It is the MBTC wool jersey, mostly yellow with green and blue. Most people realised what it was all about and reactions were generally pretty positive

Yellow jacket, pink cycling tights (well, I had to have pink in there somewhere)

Yellow and pink bike (but I think everyone knew that) with yellow tyres.

I wasn't thinking clearly this morning (been like that for a couple of weeks!?!?!)
I just threw my yellow jersey on for commute.

Coincidence
or
fate

you bloody ripper Cadel & BMC

Being the network administrator at work, everyone in the office is being forced to have Cadel/Yellow desktop wallpaper, my salute to Cadel.

that's so cool

I could only find a sort-of-yellow flouro jacket I had taken home by mistake from a factory visit years before. I took the time trial bike as well, as a dual tribute to Cadel taking the win with his TT, and the fact that Cervelo won the teams prize. *

I came across one guy in yellow, but it turned out he was a sailing mate and I don't think the yellow was anything but his normal gear. I'm not into wearing replica gear or anything (I don't understand the replica team wear idea, frankly) but this was a great day for Aussie cycling so I would have thought more people would grab yellow. Why not make something of a day of it?

Did anyone see anyone making an effort to wear yellow on the Sydney inner west commute?

* oh, and of course it rained later and there was the joy of a TT bike and racing slicks in the wet, coupled with not wearing rain gear 'cause it wasn't yellow!

PS - great work Oxford - can you hack into my work with that screensaver?

i notice that your avatar is of the "specialized" variety, by any chance are you a professional forum poster who works for them?

or are you just a fan of the brand and choose to express it in that way?

[MarkG]

As a matter of fact I am.
