I am 50+...
But, back in the days I was originally riding I used it pretty much for mobility and gave it up as soon as I turned 16 and got a driver's license. (After all: Why would one pedal a bike when all you have to do is press down on a gas pedal? And besides, a car was WAY more cool...) But, when I did ride it was with whatever I had on at the time -- sometimes it was a baseball uniform as I pedalled my way to a Little League game.
... And helmets were for motorcycles!
I guess those days are gone too... Kids get driven by their parents to wherever they want to go... We had two choices: Walk or Pedal?
I recently started riding again -- so I guess I missed all the fun of the wool shorts.
... But they still sound hot and itchy to me!
