To keep my post on-topic, I'll add another vote for SPD. I went so far as to elongate the holes in my shoes so I could put the cleat another 1/2" further back. It really helps prevent foot pain.
Again, I'd go with a larger typeface. We have begun to increase the type size in our print materials where I work for this very reason. I agree that all-caps is shouting, but I don't think a larger typeface falls into the same category. It is just a courtesy to the older reader. in Canada, 65% of the population are "boomers" at they (we) are getting pretty close to retirement. At 56 my focus is on its way out, and I appreciate the larger type. I just don't think to use it!
