To each their own opinion and all that *but* when everyone hears what you say and somehow assumes you are an expert on everything you do (no, really, some people really think he knows what he's talking about on every subject that comes out of his mouth) comments like that aren't cool. The general public shouldn't assume that you have to shave your legs or wear certain clothing to ride a bike on the road (unless it's a helmet). The lot of us that wear lycra has got to be a small percentage of all people on a bike.
I do think it's cool that he is not only riding in his near-sixties but willing to encourage others to do so and put our money where his mouth is. Heck, if more people stayed fit there'd be less money spent on healthcare, right? If more people walked or rode to shops or work there'd be less polution and so on and on and on...
