I would be in. Great idea. It needs to be somewhat conservative for me. I don't want to look like a clown riding down the road.

I've been wanting a clydesdale jersey for a while. Just make sure it's not all fruity looking. I don't want some **** looking prarie scene. Maybe something like a clydesdale pulling a pack of cyclists.

I'd buy one. Nothing to "fat guy" please. I'm just a big guy not really fat.
I think my bike hates me.

Another idea I have toyed with is "Single Lane Drafting Only"
I weigh around 240 pounds and whenever I am riding along at 20 mph I usually see two riders side by side behind me taking advantage of the extra draft I provide.

How about something like a road sign with "caution: Fat guys in lycra crossing" or "beware of big men wearing lycra" or "never too big to be on a bike". Just my 2 cents as a 250lb rider.
Ps. Just the other day as I was at a stop sign I heard a someone yell "hey your too fat to ride that bike" to which my response was "Hey I did not know A-holes could talk" Luckily he laughed and said good one and we both went our separate way's

bikejerseys.com has full team jerseys and some generic jerseys that run up to 6xl.. Remember that the Santini jerseys run about 2 sizes small.. I like using them because my big issue is jersey length because I am so tall.. I can get a jersey that fits but the pockets are in the middle of my back.. The Santini jerseys are plenty long and a great choice in sizes..

I've always wondered: Does clydesdale refer to fat or just being over 200 pounds, regardless of body composition?

Has to have the following sponsor categories:
Beer
Pizza
Donuts
We could ask Jan Ullrich for his suggestions.

It is an impercise term. I used to show up at clydesdale and super clydesdale (>250#) events and there would be these 6'6" guys who did nothing but work out and ride. We should not be in the same category.

How about a Clydesdale pulling a full peloton of twenty behind it? Sort of a take on the Budweiser theme.

I've considered having some "Team Clydesdale" jerseys made and then trying to sell them but I've been afraid i'd sell four jerseys and then be stuck with a lifetimes worth of jerseys in my house.
