Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Where's the bikes?

Oh, I see.

Nice kits. Real nice.

I would still take 2002 ONCE TDF team kit over FDJeux, though.

Stupid clovers... what do they mean, anyway?

Yes.

The bike may be too big, but her frame isn't.

Does that mean I really don't belong here??

I think its a healthy sign but given the forum I may be taken as non-focused.

Nice.

Of couse, the answer is "no pro kit" with the possible exception of it being about a decade since the team existed.

I think the thread should be safe... they all are on (at least a part of) a road bike. Maybe this should be a sticky even

By the way, that's probably the most memorable thing ever done in an FDJ kit.
