If they really wanted to "set the dress code", should the let participants use their smart phones?

Who's more in keeping with the heroic theme - the guy with a totally legit classic bike and period-correct parts who does the parade route along the coast? Or the guy who does 110 miles and 8,000 feet vertical on gravel roads in the back country but has hidden cables and an external bottom bracket?

And I'm just wondering about that imaginary "insurance company" that requires wearing a helmet.
Has anybody actually made a CLAIM, that has also been PAID??

imo you should be able to use aero levers as long as you dress up like the guy from the Dura Ace AX catalog

^^^^^^ Didn't every AX-equipped bike get shipped with one of those outfits? One size fits all, right?

Typical, but not Eroica item:
3) That I will wear all appropriate safety equipment at all times, including a bicycle helmet.
