just curious to know how and when we become "mamils".

That's not what should worry you. The worry is when you age out the other end.

Nah, just curious. More a case of, what sort of person decides another is a mamil.

The same sort of person who thinks a person only drives a German car to make them look better.

Cycling was designed for Lycra wear it with pride.

I know I have already replied to this, but if you are middle-aged, male and in lycra, then you are a mamil. It's not an insult, it's a description. Own it. It's only an insult if you choose to be insulted by it.

The way I see it,nothing ventured nothing gained.
That's why I want to try a recumbent and a trike too.
I have not long commented on that actually.
A farthing would be a great experience
