    we dress fairly casual at my office but there was this one guy that always wore a suit and finally one day I ask him “why do you wear that stuffy suit when you can wear jeans and a t-shirt?” he said “my father always told me, dress for the job you want not the job you have”. Of course, he got fired

    or it could be that the darn shirt was in the $25 box at Banning's during the time I only rode mountain bikes and I didn't have a clue that the polka dots meant anything. Now that I have been enlightened, I can only wear the shirt mountain biking.:(

    O.K., I've been riding road bikes for 2 years and I don't have a clue about what you guys are talking about when you refer to "rainbows". Who, what wear?:?:

    Sweetpea: If you are riding around in a polka dot jersey, don't take this thread too personally. It's the guys in Astana jerseys who really look lame!

    That's brings up another question: Didn't Astana jerseys look lamer last year? This year they are just sort of 'I-bought-this-jersey-because-of-a-guy-who-doesn't-even-ride-for-the-team' lame.

    The rainbow jersey is worn by the world champion. There are various designations, such as Road, Time Trial, etc. Cadel Evans is the current Road world champion after his phenomenal finish in last year's race.

    It could be pretentious to ride in a world champion jersey, unless you only profess to be the world champion of being "you." I'll stick with the King of the Cheeseburgers.
