Weird , because i think wearing a skinsuit to a DH race would be really funny. My buddy who races pro DH routinely goes riding wearing dockers and a business shirt or golf shirt with the sleeves cut off. I have ridden a skatepark before in a Brooks Brothers suit after I got out of an interview awhile back. I dubbed it "classy shredding". And my buddy out in AZ shows up to 24 hr races and even the SSWC wearing either a gorilla suit or a banana suit. It's all about having fun for some of us I guess.

There is a difference between showing up to a race in a skinsuit as a joke and wearing it to gain an aerodynamic advantage. There are people who dress up for the cross races around here as well, and you sure as hell better dress up on Halloween (they throw beer on people who don't). I violate many of the "rules" every time I ride my bike. I even wear full fingered gloves with short sleeve skinsuits which a faux paux in cross

When "rules," real, imagined or whatever, arrive, fun goes out the window...

Although "twatwaffle" is my new favorite insult.

I LOL'd at #14 and the reference to #12:

14. In certain RARE cases, it shall be deemed acceptable to have long hair. In this event, hair shall be neatly slicked back in a severely euro style, and helmet SHALL NOT be worn. It is IMPERATIVE that rule 12 is followed in these special instances.

12. Ridiculously stylish eyewear (see endorsed products list) is to be worn AT ALL TIMES without exception.


EDIT: LMAO!!

38. Team bikes will be built up so that they violate the UCI weight limit in order that weights might be attached to the frame to demonstrate its superiority and lightness.

59. The Euro Cyclist shall own a sizeable parrot and will ensure that he is seen walking around photo shoots with it perched either upon his casually outstretched index finger or upon his shoulder. Hair should be slicked back for maximal effect. The parrot should either be white or it should contain three (3) or more colors found within the World cup stripes. One must always smile when pictured with the parrot. The parrot should speak fluent Italian. In certain cases it is deemed advisable that the Euro Cyclist possess, in place of a parrot, SEVERAL young pumas.
