Constantly consulting
The project is starting to be formatted.
From the idea to the project, the team members work together to move forward.
When we gather for training, discussions arise.
Everyone gives their point of view and everyone is happy to receive equipment worthy of the name with the colors of .
Each member of the team already thanks the Non-Governmental Organisation for this initiative.
When cycling, equipment is washed very often and wear is felt after 2 years.
These are specific and technical equipment, as we understand it, since the bicycle saddle is really thin and protective measures are applied.
As a child, I started cycling with very (too) hot equipment and much less studied.
Cycling shorts are called "cuissard in french" And inside this shorts when I started cycling, there was a chamois skin, a real chamois skin. It was quite uncomfortable, but it protected the buttock from irritation on the saddle.
Today, damping, gel or foam techniques are really suitable for the practice of this sport and we can stay on the saddle for four to five hours, or even more without irritation.
The name of the team
The FLAHUTE... but what is the FLAHUTE?
Definition
The word "flahute" is a French slang term, which generally refers to a person from northern France or Flanders. It refers to the stereotypical image of the inhabitants of this region, who are often perceived as robust and enduring.
In sports, especially in cycling, a flahute is a brave and tenacious rider, able to brave difficult weather conditions such as wind, rain or cold. This nickname has been given to several Belgian and northern champions over the years.
Thus, the term "flahute" can have a positive connotation, valuing strength and perseverance, but also negative, referring to a certain regional folklore.

So yes, this term defines us quite well since we are going to drive miles on our bike, training, in all weather, and always with pleasure.
It is above all a term and a connotation that amuses us! And in the region, we are recognized by our fellow cyclists, who greet us with a "hello flahutes!" When we meet.
DESIGN OF THE MAILLOT
Don't be impatient. You will be informed about the look and colour of the future TEAM FLAHUTES - CLEANPLANET team jersey!
A first proposal was made, but was eventually rejected.
In consultation, we concluded that it was a color that was going to be too messy, and when we pedal in the rain and thunderstorm, there are really big, messy projections that are hard to get away with over time.
So here's the unrestrained model 👇👇👇
While very bright, and certainly messy, I found that the logo was not flashy enough.
It would be a pity for a sponsor not to be seen.
The goal is still to run an advertising campaign for .
Do you like this design? Was it a good idea or a bad idea?
But patience... we're now on a different design.
To be followed...
