I think after some of the twaddle spouted on this thread he's prolly laughed off cycling and taken up lawn bowls. Everybody wears white, so there's no disagreement involved.
Actually..... still cycling!
Been reading the posts too, and I actually expected more photos and links to horrendous jerseys. I suppose I started badly by referring to wearing a jersey that needs "qualifying" and in that sense its kinda embarrassing after reading the "rules" on velomanati or something.
I think for the cycling enthusiast or for a weekend rider, nobody cares what people wear. Sure, an occasional semi pro rider or someone who wakes up hunting Strava KOMs might scoff and mock you if you were wearing dots or yellow, but it shouldn't matter because it's just another piece of clothing.
Anyway, for me, I'm settled with the dots, I won't be climbing like I won the red and white jersey but I sure as well will try to climb as best as I can. At the end of the day, it just gives me a nice tan line and some smiles here and there but all in good fun as long as you don't mind being judged.
Also saw someone in the yellow jersey having a few laps around parra park getting overtaken by a few club racers, I didn't think it of a big deal at all. So all in all, enjoy the ride, look like you want and feel good about it!
