Hincapie's New Look

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

Hincapie's New Look

I've noticed that Hincapie isn't wearing "standard issue" apparel and his bike's got American Flag flames. Is there a reason for this or is it just that George Hincapie is a bada$$ and he can do whatever the heck he wants?

yes, it's because he's a bada$$

Show me a pro rider's wife who isn't.

Isn't the rule that you never talk about another man's wife .. at least not to his face.

That drawing might work, but the bumps would be the varicose veins....

Hells yea, he's doping... on FREEDOM and PATRIOTISM!!! That, and apparently some sort of "Super Soldier" serum, but mostly on freedom and patriotism. I would've guessed that of all BF members, you would've known that

I thought George was just confused on whether he was riding for Disco or for Toyota/United.


On the OP's question, George will wear standard issue Disco during Time Trials. Dave Zabriskie will rock the Capt. America look during Time Trials.

If by 'personality' you mean the uncanny ability to tell the time just by looking at the sun, shave with a big-assed knife, and tame wild animals with a stern gaze and wierd hand gesture -- I'm pretty sure Mr. Norris can do that as well.
