I have no problem with this.
Actually, none of the people whom I see biking to school wear spandex. I rarely bike to work - I'd have to get up too early - but when I do, I' m the only rider in spandex. The women in spandex all come in from the parking lot.
Comments I receive from co-workers all involve a perception that it's too unsafe. Clothing is never at issue.
