I think there's call for one with a recumbent on the end...

It's hard to believe that somebody would pay £9.99 to make a statement that golf or DJing is the pinnacle of human evolution...

Which end?

Isn't that the Darwin's sandwich place logo?

Ignoring the fact that knuckles are once again dragging on the ground?

(and the first time I saw the image was in Cyclelogical in New Cavendish Street, where I bought my Muddy Fox back in the early 80's. Bike is still there, shame about the shop. And yes I know it still sells bikes, but it is not the same place)

I don't tend to wear T-shirts but I'd love that on the back of a cycling jersey....

Dammit!

(Though I was hoping for one with the upwrong as the previous stage.)

I'm sure I've seen an "evolution of" style picture going through the stages of bicycles and finishing with a speedbike having passed through such things as upright and highwheeler, but I can't find it on a T-shirt or even just the picture.

I quite liked the messenger bag I was given a while back...

Bend it cycling

Not so sure about the big wheel bit.

I just got given one

My Daughters got me one for my Birthday, but I don't think the same place. The colour scheme saw/chose has black on Blue which came-up quite dark. Even so, I was chuffed! It came from the States.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #16 on:** 06 October, 2010, 06:32:39 pm »

I saw this one in the window of a shop on Brigstool's Triangle back in whenever-it-was-I-was-there.

I thought it would be a lot... dare I say cooler? Or do I simply mean more cliquey? - without the last name, which is rather a giveaway for the general public.

On the subject of de-evolution...

Something, somewhere went terribly wrong

But what's the significance? If it's 3-time TdF winners then it's missing Greg.

Rhys W · « **Reply #19 on:** 06 October, 2010, 07:26:58 pm »

And Louison.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #20 on:** 07 October, 2010, 11:00:17 am »

I confess that when I saw it, I assumed it was just 'names of famous cyclists' or 'I know all these names, do you?' In which case it's blown by the inclusion of Lance.

But I found this blog (scroll down till you get to "mum, he's moaning again") which claims it's the name of all five-time winners of TdF. I'm not up enough on Tour history to know off-hand whether that's correct, so I'm off to google for it!

Rhys W · « **Reply #21 on:** 07 October, 2010, 11:06:14 am »

So what's Fausto doing there?

Looks a bit random to me.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #22 on:** 07 October, 2010, 11:12:29 am »

Yep, I was just going to point that out (having googled!)

It looks like "all five who have won the Tour at least five times, plus Fausto." So if you're going to include Fausto, why not make an exception for, say, Gino or Laurent? Or even Henri Cornet, who may not be famous but won the second TdF and remains its youngest ever winner (he was 20)?

Yep, it's a bit random. So I'd take out Lance and put in Henri!

Redlight · « **Reply #23 on:** 08 October, 2010, 08:38:24 am »

Bjarne & Marco & Floyd and (possibly) Alberto might be even more cliquey.

Cudzoziemiec · « **Reply #24 on:** 08 October, 2010, 02:17:13 pm »

Might not be a clique you want to advertise though.

Non-cyclist acquaintance: What are those names on your t-shirt?
T-shirted cyclist: Winners of cycling's most prestigious race who have been disqualified for cheating.

Still, you could make an equally long (I think) list of footballers given a red card during world cup finals.
