Just a reminder about dress code among some of the CARPE members who bought a bycycle this year, And just in case some of us need to see what can happen when you model yourself as a tour de France rider lookalike, I took a pic of this guy at Devils Bridge last year, check out the dodgy cod piece :blink:

Don't get confused between my personality
and my attitude. My personality is who I am,
my attitude depends on who YOU are!

That guy looks a bit OTT but being a keen cyclist I understand the need to be seen. A dark brown or black top, riding along at any time of the day is asking for it. Cycling & riding  mopeds are amongst the most dangerous modes of transport due to collision risk. Having a beer gut & being 30 years to late for Le Tour is right BUT at least that type is not just sitting about waiting for a zimmer frame.

Deffo OMIL !

 

Maybe some kinda primal mating ritual going on there ?  :unsure2:

 

Some lycra clad peeps with big bellys can cycle huge distances and at a good speed, also a lot fitter than most. They pass me all the fookin' time when I'm out cycling. <_<   Looks no worse than the typical 50+ pot bellied full racing suit clad Rossi wannabe, apart from the family jewels. :lol:

Exactly. Looks no different to the power ranger or the easy rider or the Ewan Mc Jedi explorer or the line dancer or................

Could go on for ever. We all do our own thing but he will be a lot  fitter. I would prefer blue with the yellow though ;)
