For the SMB cyclists

Are you all MAMILS suffering from a mid life crisis.

I'm in my mid forties and admit to having a pair of padded lycra pants but they're worn under baggies and not on display. I also get out most weekends to do a twenty odd mile ride.

How do I overcome this crisis in my life? which is going to be the cheapest and best option?

a) Fork out £3k on a carbon road bike with full lycra long johns, Gore jacket and get into training for next years London to Paris.

b) Book two sessions with a shrink

I think Hauser was definitely a MAMIL. I'm only 23 so I'm not.

Tough it out without padding, it'll take a while but then when it works, no more padding is needed.

Embrace the lycra and don't give a fuck what anyone says. A middle aged man wearing lycra for a reason (ie riding a bike) looks a lot better than some middle aged fat bastard wearing a football top to down pints.
You don't need to spend 3k on a bike.
