Rise of the MAMILs (Middle-Aged Men In Lycra)

Recommended Posts

Damn, that was quick!:D

What are you doing on the computer in the middle of a Sunday?
My excuse: I'm stuck doing -on-call duty, (but I did sneak out for a 30-miler this morning).

Your article is really depressing. It said "middle aged" starts at 35yrs old!>:(

I had two night shifts of special assignment, so I just woke up and my day is wasted recovering from the temporary shift change.

The issue here is the word "middle." Life expectancy in the US is only 78.4 years. Let's assume the exact middle is 40 years and put a 5 year buffer on either side of that (which is pretty f'in' conservative). There ya go, 35.

Suck it up cupcake.

Personally I'd be more than happy to kill somebody in order to be 35 again. This, perhaps, explains the allure vampires.

No, THAT'S not the depressing part. The depressing part is while "middle aged" ends perhaps at 45, you actually see no benefit from being "old" for quite some time after that. You don't even get discounted theater tickets until 55 at most places and you can pretty much f'in' forget about Social Security. You're probably never going to live long enough to see that.

I'm 30, turned 30 this year. On the upside, staring down 30 got me back into the gym again this year. In the past 8 months I've cleaned up my diet, have a 5 day split based on traditional powerlifting workouts and I'm in the best shape I've been in in a few years.

Now I guess I should start lycra shopping...:o

This isn't too bad...

1. There is an actual reason for the lycra.

2. They're actually doing something that will reduce the beer gut.


Just as an aside, unless you are actually training for the olympics, there is never, ever, an excuse for a speedo.


Exactly. Too much fabric. :P

Just to toss a little more gas on the fire . . .

Did you know that when it comes to marketing films, "old" is considered anyone past 25?



Aren't they still playing teens at that age?

Well, in the movies you're probably talking about, the phrase is typically stated as "18 to play younger."

Ok, but then again, I hate all of those stupid vampire movies of late, so I'm not their demographic to begin with.;)

BTW, cycling shorts should always be black.
See attachment for why.



Actually, those shorts are quite helpful. If more men would wear red spandex, women could decide quickly that there's no point in going home with you after we let you buy all our drinks!

That is the excuse that all you guys use when you have insecurity about your small size.
