The Tour of California has brought about a lot of drama in the cycling world. Lance Armstrong was accused of using illegal substances by a former teammate (again), and then was bloodied up worse than a 'Vampire Diaries' victim, which made him leave the race. But the real story from the race, of course, is the sweet Mash Team Kit which splashed on to the California cycling scene.
Why is the Mash Team Kit so special? Well, the colors which highlight the shirt, stickers and other swag are actually a histogram of a photo taken in the hills of San Francisco. I'll take that over a tie-dyed tee any day.
