So you want to be part of the GB cycling team but lack the required speed, skill or talent to actually be included in the squad? Never mind, luckily for you, from April you will be able to buy a kit just like your British Cycling heroes and pretend as hard as you like that you are racing, even as you potter into work on your Brompton.
For some people this seems to be highly attractive. I have to say, and this is just a personal thing, I really don’t like the idea of wearing a kit I haven’t earned. I mean, in the unlikely event that I hit the GB team I would be more than proud of the kit I got to wear, but until I do I will stick to non-team-specific riding gear that doesn’t scream “wanna-be”. Cycling’s about freedom and being yourself, not about pretending you are someone you’re not.
