I think he's thinking "Hmm, roadskater looks fine in that Tangerine/Pyrocantha sleevless and eebee's pretty in sleeveless Iris, but why didn't she wait instead of going up that hill without roadskater? And by the way, what bright color from nature will this year's jersey be? It's bound to be so late he'll do it in a mad hurry again, ha! Stupid human! I used to be like that, but now I can sit and watch it all go by. All I have to do is get a haircut, wing trim, and pedicure and I'm supergood to go."

So far, we have:
Blue, Green, Violet, Orange...
If we consider the ROYGBV rainbow colors, that leaves red and yellow.
Some variation of red is probably a good contender. (Maroon perhaps?) Yellow might be tricky just because it's not a very high-contrast color when paired with white (like the previous jerseys.)
Or maybe we'll get something completely different? You just never know! :-)
Which do you think works best as the single publicized name for the alliance website? The North Carolina Active Transportation Alliance website is in the planning stages. This page lets you vote on domain names and comment on features you might like on the site in advance. Results are tallied by Borda Count, sometimes called "a consensus-based electoral system" where each choice gets a point for every choice ranked below it. Thus, with 9 choices, a 1st place vote gets 8 points. Please click the title for more info and to rank....
Note that if you only vote on the names you really like and leave the rest unranked, you boost those names you prefer, as with no rank at all a name gets no points. The idea is to find the name most wish to promote, and let the rest fall away. Thus, this is a reasonable practice, especially if all are aware of the technique noted here.
You may cancel and revote.
Please vote only once. Although it is possible to game the system by voting anonymously from various IP addresses, we hope you'll vote just once. The way to ensure one vote per person is to require login, but that would also ensure a lower vote participation and one biased toward people willing to sign up for a website in general, and specifically a webiste about skating and cycling for charity.
What a picture!
Can anybody think of a great caption here...?
Stupid hooves! Won't stay
Stupid hooves! Won't stay on those...blasted...pedals! And these thighs were so born for the open road!
There's Roadskater. Hmm. What Color Will This Year's Jersey Be?

Caption fun
Ha ha! Although that's a pretty bad wing-to-concrete ratio!
Maybe this is how rest-stop volunteers feel, waiting on me & Roadskater to finally show up.
