Mongo passed a couple of guys today who were wearing full Discovery Channel kits and, of course, riding Treks. It got me thinking...these guys weren't being ironic, they probably got the kits and bikes when Mellow Johnny was on Discovery...thinking that it was really cool to wear and ride what the pros ride. Well...it's not!!!
If there is one rule in road cycling that everyone knows it's..."Don't wear a pro kit... ever!" Unless...1. You are a pro. (or) 2. You want to look like a complete idiot.
There is a fuzzy gray area where exceptions can take place. One can wear a jersey, not a full kit, of a vintage team or rider if, and only if, that team no longer exists or the rider is at least three teams removed from said jersey.
