Being a very spiritual person, what I am surprised by is that (from what I've read in the links) there is no spiritual element to his final months of life. I would think that he would have larger issues to ponder besides what appears to be his "bucket list" (Experiencing zero gravity, play in the nfl, etc.) As brave and refreshing as his perspective is, I am left wondering when (or if) he will ever confront those big picture spiritual questions, like "why am I here?" or "what was all that for?" or "Where am I headed?"
Unless he is tackling all those issues privately and chooses not to go public with those matters, (which would be surprising, given that he seems so candid about his experience) I feel that much of his actions are designed to "stay busy" perhaps to avoid pondering those scary spiritual thoughts? In his shoes, I believe I would be less concerned about getting in my cycling time than I would about speaking with a spiritual guide of some sort and preparing spiritually for my own end.
I mean no disrespect of the man, and I thought I would bring up an element not previously mentioned on this thread, out of my own curiosity.
