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

How about a cycling kit designed to look like a gladiator's. Just like the one Charleton Heston wore. That would scare off the competition.

Bet a Darth Vadar cycling helmet would get the higher US CPSC safety rating. ?

How about a "Tarzan" kit: Lord of the Urban MUP Jungle. The Tarzan yodel could become the new "on your left".
