Bike and Clothing Colours..

[Nigelnaturist]

When people ride with me they had better be colour co-ordinated or there would be hell to pay.
Cycling and cycling gear is not a game.
You go out looking good or you don't go out at all.

Same could be said about people and cameras, or rather those that think a mobile phone is anything like a stand in for a proper camera.

I think when its time to get another bike it will be a one colour bike not a rainbow coloured bike like I have now.. always black shorts and nice bright tops...
Some interesting comments...

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Until recently all leggings/shorts were black... then I got a set of Assos shorts that are yellow & black (considerably reduced in price & the ony colour left in my size) which accidentally matched my bright yellow Thorn Nomad mkII (with black tyres & all black panniers, rackpack & carbag).
That still matches the all black camera, if I keep with the shorter of the two lenses, but clashes amazingly with the longer of the lenses which is beige with black camera body, however if I leave that camera in the all black camera black inside the all black pannier, and use the little camera, its completely black then I'm back to matching; but I will probably fail with the polarising filter for either camera because they are generally bluish in colour with a black ring, however if I get the lee filter adaptor out, then the golden headed screws on the black adaptor will work with the yellow bike at a push... Now if I add in the blue & yellow water bottles onto the yellow & black bike, I can use the polarising filters for my cameras without clashing and only need to consider the fact currently I only have shorts on.

Of course, the moment I get onto the road bike, I'm back to clashing again... the road bike is red & black, not yellow and black...Hence I believe the problem lies with the colour of the bike clashing with what I wear rather than my clothes or lack of clashing with the bike.

Time for a new bike then!

Wonderful tool, but we are way off topic with this one.

Not sad at all... it's the correct way to do things.

So Question..
Do you like to match clothing colours to the bike or do you mix it a bit..

my car is silver - so I like to wrap myself in tinfoil before getting into it....

I'am not shy.

Is that Chinese clothing or legitimate team kit?
