Funny article about MAMILs

What is a MAMIL? you ask... read on

Imagine if this guy ever got into cyclocross...

This quote stuck out the most for me:

"As mid-life crises go it could be a lot worse. I am far happier my 41-year-old husband is out riding a pushbike with a bunch of other men than zooming around on a Harley-Davidson and chasing girls half his age."

Hi, my name is Dan... And I'm a MAMIL.

Very funny. I liked this one:

"Being a MAMIL, like all mid-life crises means acting like little boys. As 11-year-olds do, they have their in-jokes, asserting the perfect number of bikes to own is N + 1 (N is the number of bikes you have already)."

As a twenty something it seems like there is no age where a man in spandex is seen as okay to women.

The thing that REALLY did it was the time I shaved my legs this year.

I disagree. I like men in lycra

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I sent this over to my wife and shared it on my facebook page because as 2014 was by cycling breakout year, she just went through exactly what this wife wrote and our entire family and friends has sat back and watched it unfold. Perfect!!!!

Now I have a definition for it.. MAMIL...

I think she's more disgusted by the fact that the jersey clashes with the bike....

That pink jersey is dope.

Doesn't that bike clash with his bike? Red, white and blue - and different colored stripes on the tires? Not that I'm into the bike color coordination thing

 

[The Heckler]

Do you think she coordinated her dress with the red of the bike?

Union Jack bike motif mixed with pink jersey mixed with wearing winter shoes and shorts ... poor form, doughy little man.

Not to brag but I look awesome in spandex. The secret is having the guns to balance out the ripped quads
