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

That's a great idea! Unfortunately I work a lot of weekends, but next time I'm riding on a Sunday, I will have to try and time it with the local team's schedule. (In this case, the Eagles.)

I assume this is a sarcastic comment.



Anyway, it is strange that you can find almost anything else with an NFL logo but not cycling jerseys.

But since you are watching the Jets and Giants you don't get to see any of that.

As an ex Oilers fan I'm not too keen on the NFL anyway.

We went over this last year. https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ycling-Jerseys


Perhaps you could approach the NFL about a licensing deal and begin selling these jerseys yourself.


NBA, NHL and some college jerseys are here: https://www.activebear.com/mecyje.html

I think NFL jerseys may be the number 1 subject for cycling related spam on BF. Surprised a spammer hasn't chimed in yet

Because it would be an oxymoron to see a race fit NFL cycling jersey on a 135lbs roadie.

Perhaps. But there are plenty (if not majority) of the roadies who aren't 135lbs.

Bikes: '11 TIME NXR Instinct, '03 De Rosa Planet '79 Paris Sport (Moulton)

Maybe because football is a fall/winter sport, and most cycling fashion is geared towards spring/summer? Or, the gangs wont allow it
