A Mountain too far

I am a big fan of The Rules. Rules #14 and particularly Rule #15 apply to the photo below:

I would be proud to wear the King of the Mountains jersey. I would never try on a pair of polka dot shorts let alone wear them in public. The helmet likewise signifies to the world a fool is underneath this lid. Socks and gloves, I will give you those, but no shorts or helmet. Oh, as far as painting your bike in KOM livery.... only if you plan on juggling and/or riding with recumbents could it be considered acceptable.
