Outfits could be designed to look like a tweed suit, or the plumage/pelt of a native species of bird/animal. Hedgehogs would work well, whizzing round a track with their wee legs pumping. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5806#post-62368 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:27:31 +0000 steveo 62368@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Typical Torrie Govnt, subtly little changes here and there next thing you know crimethink Labour...</p> <p>:D </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5806#post-62367 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 12:26:12 +0000 Smudge 62367@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not impressive. What's wrong with having a national team kit vaguely identifiable as British rather than an insipid generic set of kit. I mean look at it, it looks like some non-team kit you might find on the budget rail at any local bike shop.
