2. You shall NEVER, under any circumstances, wear plain black spandex shorts or any team kit containing non-prominent Logo's.

Use of the word spandex renders the entire list redundant as clearly it was created by an American, so regardless of the rest of the content it unfortunately cannot be adhered to. Everyone knows Americans will never be "pro". Shame really.

I think the MOST IMPORTANT rule is missing:

#56 or so: Valve caps are absolutely forbidden. Riding with valve caps is about the worst offence known.
