Default Recumbent cycling tops

The mention of the arrival of Velovision (not got mine yet!) had me
browsing through the previous issue. Where I discovered something I
hadn't noticed previously.

On page 8 (News) there is a photo of a John Turvey (I now know the name
of the chap with the Titanium recumbent at York!) wearing the recumbent
jersey I had noticed at York. On it, visible in part, is a web address.

I think it might be www.ligfiets.net. Optima (www.ligfiets.nl) does list
a recumbent shirt on their shop, so it could have been them, but I'd
expect it to have the Optima branding on it.

Anyone have any idea where it came from?

It's a little hard to see, as the photo is from the side / behind,
making it hard to see the front.

I think it is this one:

This was made for the Easter meet of the Dutch HPV organisation (which has
the website www.ligfiets.net)

Don't think you can buy it...

Ingenious "wing mirror", too! But less useful for us upright riders,
though, I suspect.

Bugger. I quite liked it. Tasteful and simple. I might have to get one
of the HPVelotechnik "Moonbiker" tops at some point though. The logo
makes me laugh.

On a related note, saw a T-shirt the other day that read "If you can
read this someones stolen my ******* rucksack". Might be adaptable for
recumbents..

Got one of them too... The glow-in-the-dark effect is quite fun.

There's a motorbiker version of that, although it refers I think to a
female pillion passenger rather than a rucksack.

Tut, tut! Most distasteful!
