Its like wearing a Yellow Jersey.
Cyclists who know its real significance often feel the need to explain it to you while simultaneously explaining (thats the nice word for it) why you have most likely not earned it.


Oregon Cyclewear has good prices but FWIW I called them to ask a simple question about a Jersey and the guy I spoke to was a major USDA approved A-hole and managed to prove it repeatedly over the course of a 60 second conversation. Kinda turned me off from ordering from them on the off-chance I had to return something and deal with someone like that.
