Like mentioned before, it all depends on what nationality you are, how you like it and if you want to show it (off) or not.
Last trip (this year) we didn't had any flag on the bikes, had a Belgian one on my chest on my vest but like Colebatch said, everybody asks you anyway where you're from. If they try to guess we are always germans, so
Next trip (next year) we'll try to take a flag, but not from where we are but where we go, as we will leave our home to go and live abroad and in a tribute to our new home we'll take that flag. (but first making a few detours around the world) And that will also be interesting as I'm pretty sure almost nobody will know from where it is so it will start conversations...
If I would be US or UK I personally wouldn't show it, certainly not in some parts of the world. But then I don't know if it's a good idea to show the Belgian flag in DRC either... ;-)
