What's with the bicycle riding outfits these days

[Anonymous]

There's a dude next door to me who is a nerdy looking CPA with the big thick glasses a bald head (looks like Arnold Horshack). When he goes out for the bike ride or for a run, he puts on one of these outfits with his hat turned backwards, his oakley sunglasses on and now all of a sudden he's Superman,,,,,

Everyone watching a sport thinks the gear is funny. I do Equestrian -- why wear long boots? Why wear gloves? Why wear helment....no reason. Just safer and more comfortable.

lol. Know people in STEM fields who are not nerdy nor very bright and brag about their jobs. Trying to be something they are not.

I'm a marathon runner. I run at least 6 miles every day and at least 12+ miles on Saturdays. Yesterday I ran 22.

I didn't need to dress up like an ass-hat and neither does your husband. And I was running, not peddling a bike for a couple of hours.

The correct term is MAMIL (pronounced mammal): middle aged ma in Lycra, as in, "A group of MAMILs really slowed down the traffic in RCP today."

Middle-aged men in Lycra spandex riding bikes are a pathetic sight. Grow up and act like an adult.

Would you prefer those MAMILs to be sitting slack-jawed in front of the TV, crumbs dribbling down their fronts to their unbuttoned polyester pants?

Instead of slamming them for getting some physical activity, however oddly attired they may be, be grateful that they're not pushing up the percentage of Americans who are obese. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be surprised if some of you might benefit from following their example.

My husband wears those shorts when he rides. I think he does it because the ass and inner thigh of the shorts are padded.

It would be odd to wear a bicycle outfit for running.
