I'm coming out and I'm proud!

Sorry MAMILs are not FAB whichever way you look at it.

I find tilting my head and squinting, the best way to look at it

According to the BBC, middle age doesn't start until 55 ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-19622330 ) so my only misdemeanor out of all those is wearing lycra

..how come tights are such a difficult subject for men? Never got my head around it.. Are you bum-conscious as well? I thought it was just us..

Maybe all their problems would go away if they started wearing skirts with their tights

I wear lycra too.

... but I'm rethinking this policy after putting 2 stone on (don't know what that is in kg, sorry, not bothered either, just want rid of it... sniff... boohoo!! )

you mean something like that:

or something more classic:

No, seriously now.. Still don't get it! I find men in cycling tights and jerseys the next best thing after a chocolate souflle!

I'm Fat (but getting less so) And Bald (have been for years and would happily get rid of the rest if the missus would let me). I'm also a Middlle Aged Man and now I'm fully commited to being In Lycra (now can't stand anything loose flapping about).

So there you go. I'm out and I'm proud. Has it happened to you yet?

Being a woman I'm hoping it never does!
I don't intend on getting fat or bald and as I celebrated my last ever birthday last month I won't ever be middle aged - or a man.
I only ever think of mamil's as being the ones who are in full team lycra, but don't go more than a few miles down the cycle path.

No, that's Europe actually too.. It's also men without complex about their woowoos and confident about their masculinity for that matter!

No more birthdays? Sure your'e not middle aged already?

I see the whole MAMILs thing as being a very male hangup, although I fully recognise there are very keen and able female cyclists who wear lycra (some of these may also be fat and/or bald as well). Anyway, on your criteria I am not a MAMIL either. I don't wear anything with team logos on and usually do 30-100 road miles when I'm out to enjoy myself.

What is a 'woowoo' please?

 

[Longshot]

You'll look fine in lycra:

I believe it is also called willy (or peetoo in other parts of the world), but I always prefer the more technical terms..
