Spandex has never really been my thing, but this looks like a fun club to be in. Link.

    Why go through all the trouble of squeezing yourself into spandex if all that hipster facial hair creates a lot of drag. It’s TWO kinds of irony.

    yeah those mission cycling people are cool, i see them all over the mission. i have to admit their gear is pretty dope.

    These corporate types try way too hard: upper-middle-class yuppies dressing ‘down’ with ironic sports wear yet balancing the look with presumptuous consumption and taste.

    Check out the high-class sponsors: ritual, self edge (lame), and bi-rite. The shot photo at delfina only confirms this sad state of souls.

    A real ‘mission’ crew be sponsored by mcdonalds, muni, latin bridal, and the career center on chavez.

    That’s right, they aren’t really mission after all: they should rename themselves upper-Dolores cycling club.

    I love your list of the “real” Mission sponsors. Hilarious! :-) I want a bike jersey with those businesses on it!

    Seriously, the post about the drag from facial hair offsetting the efficiency of spandex is right-on. Clearly, they are playing dress up even if a few of them really are serious cyclists.

    Forget the yuppies in spandex, who’s the hottie waitress?

    I agree with what sea cliff vert ramp writes.

    Jesus, you people will be negative about anything. It’s people who like to ride bikes! Why does it have to turn into another fucking culture war!?

    seems some of y’all are a little confused about cycling.

    see, the sponsors have to pony up money to get their name on the club’s kit. you see, sponsoring a cycling club is advertising. would it be a smart advertising decision (hint: think return on investment) for any of those “real” mission businesses/government agencies you mentioned to advertise on the kit of a local club?

    and facial hair offsetting the efficiency of spandex… you. just. don’t. get. it.
    i mean, think of michael phelp’s goatee. or dave zabriskie’s ‘stach.
