Guys,
This is like the douchebag I saw riding down the road on a bright orange lo-pro yesterday with white 650 super deep v front and white aero rear, colour coded components and a colour coded outfit to match. He might as well wear a t-shirt saying "mum and dad didn't love me enough, please validate me"
Rider name decals are for people who are into the smell of their own farts. You might think it's rad but it's the cycling equivalent of the car in the picture. LAME. I'm sure the max power types with kevved-up old shitboxes take a bit of slagging from cyclists, let's not fall into the same trap of self-parody.
Also do you really want to broadcast your name to the filth/taxi drivers/random scum you might bump into on your travels around London?
