Brompton World Championship

The Third Annual Brompton folding bicycle world championship race is coming up on September 28. Rule Number 5 of the race is as follows:

All participants, both male and female, must wear a suit jacket, collared shirt and tie. Shorts and three-quarter length trousers may be worn if preferred, though sports attire (e.g. Lycra shorts/leggings, tracksuit pants, etc.) is not permitted. There are no restrictions on shoe-wear. For health and safety reasons, it is an absolute condition of participation that a helmet is to be worn.
