What flag on my bike?

So, having got my accreditation at Manchester velodrome I am contemplating getting a new bike. And, boringly, it is most likely to be a white Planet X which are as common at the velodrome as muck. So, to distinguish the bike from the millions of others leaning against the railings I probably need to get a pair of those little name stickers which often have flags on them. The question is, if we vote leave, should I still go for a Union Flag despite that it will for me have become a symbol of short termism, inward thinking and racist bigotry or do I go for the EU flag despite that it is aesthetically a bit crap but ultimately does stand for something worth while?

    Swastika should be pretty unique.
    Evan Leave voters will be unlikely to have one of those :roll:

    How about the Kenyan flag? Seems to work for the odd "British" chap.

    New Zealand.
    No one, anywhere, will ever be offended. And you still get to have a Union Jack.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Some great ideas folks. Not sure about New Zealand though. Aside from never actually having been there (which should probably matter), they only just had a referendum to keep the Union jack on their flag - I would expect if we Brexit that there'll be another one and this time the Union Jack will be gone for good.

    I was thinking about the Norwegian flag on the basis that that is the country I have spent most time in aside from the UK but I worry that that might be seen as some kind of endorsement for the deranged idea of us going for the Norwegian model of EU relationship.

    Otherwise I'm thinking a combination of Carbonator and Secret Sams ideas.....

    How about a white flag? That should stand out nicely on your choice of steed :P

    YaayyY! Well done! We could have a winner here. It does of course lack a bit of red but I can live with that! It has the additional benefit in that it would confuse and annoy Mad Vlad in Moscow.
