As long as you don't work in the childcare industry, I say anything goes. Haha! I'd echo Leebo's words about avoiding banks too.
The general stereotype of cyclists according to 'the people out there' is that we're soft, we're gay, we're sissies. This stereotype is exemplified by the Saturday Night Live cartoon sketch called HeteRoy. HeteRoy saw a cyclist headed his way and said, "Where there's spokes there's sodomy!" Haha! This mask sorta says the opposite. It says "Don't mess with the psycho on the bike!" I'd say that's an improvement in our image. I want to have more of a biker image and less of a cyclist image.

Something like this is a better choice, ime.

The breathing holes really help. Full masks are prone to getting to hot inside, plus your breath will condensate and freeze onto the fabric which I find really uncomfortable.
