Where do amateur racers who wear the kit of the local club/team they ride for fit in? Frequently those team kits are adorned with the names and logos of local bike shops or other local businesses who contribute to the team in some way (sometimes it's just a discount to club members). Those riders aren't wearing the jersey of a team they don't belong to, and they're not pretending to be someone they're not. Are they poseurs, too?
