Tron suit has struck, again

The latest issue of Bicycling has a letter to the fashion guy asking where one can buy a Tron suit like the guy in the Tour. Maybe they will be the latest fashion accessory. Perhaps we could make millions by pilfering the idea and selling them, mass market. Just a thought.

Serious letter? Or just some guy that read about it here trying to get printed?
