Where do you stand on this very controversial issue?
British national road race champion Adam Blythe will wear white bib shorts with his mainly white champion's jersey for Aqua Blue Sport in 2017 “unless it’s really bad weather”.
In cycling, opting for white shorts - which can often be more revealing - is seen as controversial.
And whoever is charged with getting the kit clean won't thanks Blythe for going for the bling option!
The 27-year old revealed on his Twitter page that he would go for the apparently less popular option of white shorts instead of black, though will opt for the latter on days the weather is not so fine.

Blythe has always been known as a bit of a style guru and his choice of clothing on a recent training ride did nothing to dispel that notion, with white arm and leg warmers and some flashy Nike footwear completing his look.
He has been sponsored by Nike for a while now and has worn some pretty eye-catching footwear over the years.
But white bib shorts? We'll give him until April before this decision is reversed!
We shouldn't be a bit surprised that Blythe rode for NFTO (Not For the Ordinary) in the past! His choice of shoes over the years have been simply stunning!
