Ya know what might help the cause? Squashing this notion that success, role models and leaders are defined by how much money they have.
In my opinion he isn't a role model because of the money that he had, but rather because he is a successful businessman, and because he is a well known individual. And we need successful businesspeople to get out of their limos, and Lexus', and Benz' and on bicycles and using public transportation to make a difference.

So what a successful person can't choose to change his/her mode of transportation without people thinking that they've "lost it?"

Maybe if he started putting in some miles on a bike it would help to change people's opinion of him, who knows.
