Tough call this question. I sit on the fence. I personally would feel a bit of a fraud in pro-kit, but at the same time, it is fine for people to wear other pro-sports kit. I did meet someone recently who is a passionate football fan and beleieves that the shirt should be reserved for real players and fans should wear polo shirts. I would say that if your in pro kit, you better be able to pull it off. Whenever I pass anyone in pro-kit, I always smile to myself Anyway, I like to wear Torm jerseys; Classic and they feel amazing.

I wear last years Sky jersey and i also wear Cav's WC jersey and couldn't give a sh!t what people think (i do also have non team jerseys). When you start reading and getting in to this debate it appears it's just the newbies and leisurely cyclists that seem to wear team kit but i was VERY surprised when i did the Great Manc Cycle how many of the FAST guys out at the front wearing Sky. I've also noticed whilst out and about more and more people in team kit. Watching the tour, it seemed like almost everyone had team jerseys or polka dot on. So i say wear what you want, you just might look silly in a polka dot struggling up a hill! I strongly agree with this statement!!!!!! It's my money spending not yours! I support the team by wearing the jersey just like the football fan. Why ain't the nay sayers picking on them too? I was very surprised on how popular the Sky kit was at the GMC too. Just think the full kit cost Β£175 and that's just the replica kit (Β£310 for the pro kit) without shoes,helmit, mitts. Oh don't forget the bikes - so many Pinarellos there I was just overwhelmed. Everyone has the right to spend their money on sporting kit that supports their sport the same apply to cycling.

You got to be kidding me! Every man, woman and child have the right to make a political statement were ever he/she is. That's democracy. Unless are from a Theocracy I guess you don't understand your rights. Anyhow personally I support the HFH because these are the people putting their lives on the line for all of us here in the UK to enjoy the life styles and freedom we have. They make the sacrifice, we support them, their families and the organisations behind them. The lest we can do really.

Hopefully we can get a thread going for HFH and keep it live for others to see and sign up. You up for that? I seem to be pushing charities a lot on this forum these days lol
