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

Ugliest Bike Kit - Post em!

with all the recent threads on what to wear
here's your chance to post WHAT NOT TO WEAR! (can include the full rider/kit/bike package pic)
if it's nasty, or bad wacky, or just ugly (should be plenty of 'event' jerseys out there for this...) we want it here!

here's one you won't find in my closet...

In all fairness to the Footon Servetto kits, which are the brown ones in the original post, I had a chance to work with the team in 2010 when I was working for iBike. I went over to Mallorca and rode with them for a while. In person those kits are actually much much uglier.

Think about it:

How horrible would it be that you are getting paid to do what you love in life, but you can never have any memories or look at pics of yourself without cringing? ... FOREVER.

That got to be a circle of hell or something...
