Are you a MAMIL?

Oh sure , Lycra is the next Audiophile catch word. I hear the sound just flows off your body allowing you to hear those midrange and bass notes just a little bit better and lets not forget the safety helmet to go with your outfit as it lets the sound cascade around your head with minimal interruptions :D

I've heard rumors that Mike wears a complete biking outfit during his A/B sessions. :D :panic:
 
Mamil, yep that's me alright!

Quite a few audiophile in my area are also cyclist, not quite sure why.

MAMIL... Guilty as charged. Funny article, and I've heard said cycling is the new golf.

After a decade of walking around flogging a little white ball, at four+ hours per outing (+ half-hour before to loosen up and hit a few balls, and after to replace trace minerals at the 19th hole) my wife and I noticed we weren't getting any fitter so we both got back on the bike and ride regularly. Whether or not I look good in lycra is another matter. And around here I don't sport the requisite grey beard. Old dudes on bikes, ODOBs!

Haha!

Nope, I bike with Russell athletic shorts and a T-Shirt. I only started wearing a helmet the past few months after my neighbor got sent flying on his bike by a driver who was texting while driving.

I truly love riding, but I can't justify spending any serious money on a bike. I want to ride on sidewalks (I hear the serious bikers gasping), because I believe that's where bikes belong for the safety of everyone. I doubt anyone will agree with me though.

Ain't that the truth. Even as a single digital handicapper, I've always said: golf is the only sport where you are in worse shape after you play than before.

I play hockey three times a week (including a rare invite to practice with the Lightning last weekend), ride at least once a week, and elliptical or treadmill in between.
 
It's better that way Mike. Unless of course you want to drool over 10k bikes, $300 shoes, and $400 bib shorts. :)

I play "at " golf. I played high school and college football and golf is the only sport where I had to have surgery, on my knee, foot and wrist and now my back is killing me. Maybe I should wear Lycra on the golf course :crackedout:

You are right Mike a helmet is the most important piece of gear one should wear, wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that. As far as lycra and expensive bike goes, they don't really make you a better cyclist. Riding is all about the exercise and adventure, however you do it doesn't matter as long as you are riding.
 
I guess the real question here, is why is Mike checking out an article about men in Lycra is there something about the words "middle aged" that draw concern , :hmmm::D
