And I thought cycling in London was dodgy.

On the triathlete forum I visit there is a huge argument between men who wear blue and men who wear pink.

I prefer bland. Its not a fashion show. Whatever Dallas says.....

These are people who are unlikely to win.

Few months ago chappy in our office started coming in in super-dooper cycling gear, spent a fortune - you'd think he rode for one of the teams.
Turns out he was getting a Boris Bike from Liverpool St to Waterloo

Says he is now injured, and I caught him outside having a fag yesterday.

When cycling in europe the locals say they can spot the brits because we mainly wear plain black cycling shorts.

I have a variety of cycling shorts including club shorts, plain black, black and white etc etc. None of them affect my speed. The other cyclists realised quickly that I'm an old rugby player because I can go downhill very fast, can keep up with the peloton on the flat, but when they go uphill I sort of, well, erm, stop.

although, I tend to speed up in my HSBC ones (cheapo sale during a stint there) moreso if they have had bad press, all the cabbies seem to know about it.

Good idea. Maybe I'll buy a pair of Moroccan national team shorts for riding in NL.
