i dont see this kind of thing helping the cause long term – even if it makes you feel good the first time you wear it
the more normal you look (in a jeans and chuckers way) the better IMO
dressing up like you are on a club run or racing when you are going to work makes you look like a bell at best, then confirming it with an aggravating slogan which is not applicable to most drivers, only cofirms any cyclists = bellends ideas drivers may have had.
(manky flouro jackets are not ‘normal’ unless you dig roads or fix railway lines)
Yes, exactly.
I imagine the sort of people who’ll wear these jerseys are those that have discovered cycling late on in life (having never really been the “sporting” type), and are now on a mission to shove it down everyone’s throats.
This involves throwing out all their old clothes and replacing them with howies, fox, morvelo and other branded cycling gear.
“look at me! I’m a cycler”
Through the week they commute 250miles each way in their 5 litre BMW 5 series. But at the weekend they need to reaffirm their position as a true cycler by wearing a jersey with a sentence on the back that no one from this country would ever say.
