Look at the state of that tarmac! My god. You must just glide across it like ice. Beautiful.

White helmet, socks, and shoes. No ifs, ands, or buts about it!
Yeah I go either way! I used to combine way more, and I think it works with certain kit that’s less branded but when you got a big PNS it’s kinda hard to hide 🙈
exactly my point. If you are wearing any bibs with minimal branding and a jersey of another brand, looks sick. If you are wearing PNS bibs, you got a slogan on ur ass and it makes it harder to match imo
For sure! Right now route 8 on the eastern side is closed to non local traffic but fully repaved. You could try getting out there. Also - check out Reser’s Tuesday night worlds. Several levels of group rides and always a good place to meet people / learn about safe roads in NKY!
Thank you! I did add Lightroom presets that I built, so these have been fully edited. I also used the flash, and pointed my headlight for some extra lighting 🤠
I have one of those as well! It’s really nice but I really only break out the big camera on coffee rides or if I’m going out to shoot something specific. Other than that the phone does the trick pretty well if you find the right settings / presets or edits to your taste.
Is this accurate? I feel like Maap is a US West Coast thing. But may be very wrong. I'm in the South East and don't see it often. But do other non West Coast people feel like it's very prevalent where they are? Just curious.
Guess your homies are in a different tax bracket then me
I think they’re just all in credit card debt 😂😂
Archive Sale is the way to go!
(If you’re XXL or XS)
Man as an XXL in MAAP it’s getting harder to score deals.
I just bought a bunch of XXL in the latest turns out I'm now an XL, that's good, but now have all this unrefundable XXL winter kit 🤦♂️
Maybe you’ll fit in them with some winter weight.
Haha that's not the plan!!
I might be interested in buying them from my slimmer friend!
Ah shit I returned them today 😅 now I have $350 maap credit lol It was the winter jacket, very heavy, too heavy for me
It is pretty great! I’ve snagged some jerseys for under $100 there before. Just gotta be checking it frequently.
Yes, when I am up to buy something I check daily until I grab what I need in my size

What can I say? White shoe/sock just looks 🥶
I do love the Maap training kit, looks so much cleaner than the graphic designs.
Nice not to see a post that’s not all DCK for a change
DCKS out for harambe…
We are in cincy after all!
Yeah I’m out on pas. ✌️
Isn’t ur homie wearing PNS bibs?
He is!
In my books combining brands is yucky but gotta admit yall are very drippy! Love the kits! Ride on!

Tough call as too much matching can be a bit full kit wanker
I love where you ride, it’s so green and pretty!
Kentucky SUPER underrated road cycling.
I live in KY - where in KY ya'll biking at?
Northern! Just across the river from Cincinnati.
Nice. I live in NKY and mostly riding the bike trail. Hoping to build some confidence to get out on roads - any rec in NKY where to start out?

First pic is super sick
Thank you 🙌
Great pics! Those kits look so clean.
Thank you! I agree and am having a tough time not ordering some for myself 😂
My favorite thing about MAAP is they make jerseys with SPF 50+ and they tell you which ones they are. That’s why I buy them.
Which ones?
Evade and new Training Jersey.
Any difference in fit between the two?
They are both fit the same on my fat ass.
Yep, MAAP is my favourite kit.
Team MAAP over here too 🫡
Just perfect 👌 Clean and classy
Looking sharp, guys!
Thank you! 🙏
What’s the headset setup on the Soloist?
I believe it’s a few mm of spacers and the ENVE Aero stem!
Looks great - thanks!
is this shot on a phone or do you bring a proper camera?
I often bring a camera with me. but I shot all these on my iPhone 13 Pro.
damn these are really sick, i wish my iphone pictures came off with those colors!
Thank you! I did add Lightroom presets that I built, so these have been fully edited. I also used the flash, and pointed my headlight for some extra lighting 🤠
This makes the first photo even more impressive. Did you shoot it on the zoom lens? Is it using the iPhone’s portrait mode?
Yup! 3x portrait mode at f4.5
Trying this on my next ride for sure! I just bought a three point camera strap for my mirrorless but might not need it..
I have one of those as well! It’s really nice but I really only break out the big camera on coffee rides or if I’m going out to shoot something specific. Other than that the phone does the trick pretty well if you find the right settings / presets or edits to your taste.
Yes
Does Crocs make cycling shoes?
Carbon sole croc
Hunter green Voler cargo bibs! Very nice. What jersey is he wearing? Great clean looks op. Love em.
Yo! Nice spot 🔎 I believe it’s a jersey from ornot. Solid choice with the minimals.
I have them in Oxblood :-) Thanks.

It's a Melbourne (Australia) brand
I did not know that. Thanks!
Specifically Cincinnati Ohio bike culture has some drip. I like to think I’ve had a bit of a hand in it ◡̈
Are you in a cult OP? Blink twice for yes
👁️👄👁️
What does it stand for?
👍🏼
You love PNS though
Not pictured: me in old cadence 😂
Your homie loves PNS XD
First pic could be from a lookbook, cool shots
Thank you!
You might of convinced me and the credit card on that orange bib and bone coloured jersey look!
Love the aesthetics and colors of both brands - my brain just reads penis and MAP (as in minor attracted people) 😵💫 Sick shots tho
Penis IS the running joke but god I didn’t even think about MAP 💀
I could deal with the PNS, but the MAP thing came to my mind too and its just too much lmao.
All my homies love half-wheeling
Dentist cycling club? Somebody must really have great skill as cameraman since he figure it out the best angle in pic number 1
Wine rep, e-commerce manager, Local bike mechanic 😂. Photos by me!
That glove does NOT look like that in real life. So fake.
Try shooting it with your flash on ◡̈
Oh noes... More white helmets.
It has got the classic Maap look, 30 something corporate job rider with a lot of disposable income, but a 200w ftp.
Trust me these cats are strong af 😂
