I will never wear those dufus helmets or those queer bicycle clothes.
I can still ride "no hands"!

Depends, they have a wide variety of helmets at most places these days.
Myself, I just use a $20 skater/BMX helmet and that does me fine.
As far as the lycra goes, I don't wear it but some brands have this chamois padding that acts like a gel-seat cushioning in the "comfort zone".
Sometimes, you could actually find the chamois padding in cycling shorts that look like regular pairs of shorts. Others just wear it as an added undergarment beneath loose-fitting clothes.
