Diane, in answer to your “question of the week”, my wife and I are signed up for a Pedal Across Wisconsin (PAW) Northwoods Tour in July. We’ll be riding our Burley tandem.
Incidentally, my wife is a retired RN and now teaches Gentle Yoga and Chair Yoga. She, recently, took training for Tai Chi for Arthritis and plans to start teaching that in March.
Diane: in your 3/28 Outspoken Cyclist podcast you were wondering out loud why cyclists wearing team kit of the pros was generally frowned upon.
I think it harkens back to wearing a replica Tour de France yellow jersey or World Championship rainbow jersey- if you didn’t earn the jersey, don’t wear it – or a replica of it. It’s an acknowledgement of the level of commitment and athletic achievement it takes to earn those colors.
Below is a link to a Cyclist UK article that takes a position in support of wearing team kit
Thank you for your message. And, thanks for reminding me of the World and TdF jerseys. You are absolutely correct. I will share the article you offered too. Finally – thanks for being a loyal listener. Diane
