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.
this might help you out:

It’s people who like to ride bikes! Why does it have to turn into another fucking culture war!?

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.

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.

It’s TWO kinds of irony.
