Oh the shame of being married to a mamil

[Cyclopathic]

Is as nothing compared to the shame of writing for the Daily Mail.

If they felt shame.

What's the name for a 28 year old man who likes doing the same?

Wannabe?

 

[Profpointy]

Although I feel slightly dirty in saying this, given I have to admit to reading the daily-heil's website, I thought it a broadly positive article, with the "criticism" aspect very tongue-in-check. It was quite well written and actually fun

 

[Col5632]

Wannabe?

I think that's quite fitting tbh

A bloke i know has a wife who cycles. He refers to her as his mamil Middle aged moose in lycra!

Does she know that?

Yes she does,and he also refers to her as "The mooses" instead of the missus!.

 

[ufkacbln]

Only three bikes?

My wife has more than that

She owns 61/2

Where is his dedication?

 

[ufkacbln]

Hidden in the depths of the article is the fact that this guy has had MS for ten years

He is doing very well and she actually gives credit for this

Well it's a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer...

The real story that is totally missed in all the ranting about him wearing Lycra and spending too much money is that he was diagnosed with MS ten years ago!

He wife should be bloody proud of him for keeping active and passionate about something in those circumstances. Take my hat off to the guy.

Too right!

I hope that article was written in jest and not designed as the same old misandric sh1te trotted out in that supplement.

If my wife published a picture of my bike on its side with her standing triumphantly on it like in that article the locks would be changed before she got home.

What a miserable cow. Just think, her husband has been diagnosed with MS and is trying to stay fit. She's the short of woman who would be ashamed of him, whatever he did. In a few years she will be ashamed of his wheelchair, no doubt.

Silly silly silly woman. Her hubby would be better off finding a woman who is proud of him and supportive of him keeping as fit as his health condition allows. I hope that he does.

Yeah but would she let you have a key?

Hats off to the fella.
A lot of people with those conditions would be unable or unwilling to do much atall.
I am an Arthritis sufferer myself, so no disrespect intended.

 

[glenn forger]

Her fella is a Mail journalist with over a hundred articles to his name. It's the Mail using their own staff for clickbait.

I think she loves him. She seems to understand his obsession. And cycling is pretty silly if you are not involved.

My partner asks how many shimanos I've cranked when I get back from a ride, and posted a satirical live commentary of my first Dunwich Dynamo (tracking me on Endomondo) while also reporting the scotch he was drinking. It felt loving, and so does this article.

and poor love is writing on pink coloured Daily Mail pages; I bet she's doing what she can. Life is tough in shrinking journalism employment marketplace.

I tell my wife if i she wants me to get fat then fine i will go on a beer, fags n pie diet.
