I mentioned to someone elsewhere, that whenever I see this



I think of this



Or vice versa

She asked "Now I'm interested in the Venn diagram of "French cycling enthusiasts" and "Blue Lives Matter" people"

To which I replied "Hmmm, not a large crossover,, probably minuscule, but I'm sure there's some. There's a local club we used to ride with, that has a dozen or so active and retired first responders on it. They seemed pretty dialed in and up to date on riders & teams. I'll bet they follow Le Tour, at least [maybe not the Giro or Vuelta]. I guess it depends on what level of interest you define 'enthusiast'"

The Breton flag, Brittany being home to cycling legend Bernard Hinault amongst other, and also a marker of a separate (Celtic) identity within France.

Right, I looked it up, sorry I forgot to include that part

"It's the flag of Brittany [the province, not Spears, nor any local stripper]"
