The Yellow Jacket Story . . . .

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would tell you all a story.

One evening in December I was out on my bike. Like everyone else I was on my way home from work. I pulled up at some traffic lights along the cycle super highway in Balham.
I was joined by some other cyclists, probably about 6 or 7 and a little smile appeared across my face. Being a dark winter evening everyone was wearing their bright yellow cycling jackets for visibility and I just couldn't help myself.
"This is a bit embarrassing" I said boldly, "All of us out in the same clothes"
Silence . . . . nothing . . . . .  not a word, not even a smile. Everyone was just stoney faced waiting for the lights to change.
I pulled away in complete shame.
