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

Does the hammer and sickle carry the same genocide connotations as the swastika?

Not that communism is cool or anything, but seriously people. No one would blink at a Japanese flag jersey, or a British flag jersey, and we've been in wars with both of them.

If people did I couldn't ever wear anything with any flag on. I'm english and I think by now we've been in a war with the majority of the world.

Lets not make this a P&R discussion, or the thread will be moved there.

Thanks!

If you ask a Ukrainian, a Tatar, a Cambodian, or a Vietnamese living in the south a few years ago the answer would be yes. The Chinese who were hanging around Tianneman square would probably also say yes. The Uighars would definitely say yes.

Not trying to start a kerfuffle around here but there needs to be a little more sensitivity regarding this kind of stuff. It's not cool to wear a jersey with the KKK on it, or a swastika, or something that glorified an oppressive totalitarian regime just you think it looks neat. Crap, if you were dumb enough to wear a jersey with the Confederate flag on the back downtown you'd catch all sorts of grief. Don't you think it would be deserved?

Then a US flag is out too, after what we did to the various North American native tribes. This is not a discussion you want to start with me.

On-topic, this is my favorite:

OK. Look, folks, I meant no offense, and if I caused any, I apologize. Seriously and sincerely.

Back on topic:



Mmmm... Scotch.

They're apparently a mountain-bike team, but I may have to order this anyway:



Any tips on converting Euro sizing to slightly-beer-gutted American sizing?

Someone designed a 50 Plus jersey over at the old folks forum. I own one and it's my favorite jersey. If fact it's the only jersey I wear. I don't remember where I put the others.

Seriously, do it. But clean up the Latin. Idiots have standards, too.

+100 I'd buy one!

+1 on both. If I start a team, the jersey will be based off of the Brooklyn jersey. And I am a Rapha fanboy.
