I understand that new employees can get these jerseys (or other Google stuff) for free when they join the company. I've never seen a non-employee wearing the jersey.

My friend wears a google jersey, but she doesn't work for them. It looks really good on her, and everyone always comments on it. It's cute.

From Google, a nice loop is to go up Page Mill Road, along Skyline, then down Highway 9 to lunch in Los Gatos.

Yeah... those same pigeons will be pecking at the holes in your helmet. But that's okay because you'll be too preoccupied looking at the Google Ads that appear on the front of your jersey.

Admittedlty, white CF is really regular CF with a white outer layer usually made of fibreglass.
