I am much more comfortable in bibs. Nothing to bunch up or flap in the wind.

I would not consider it a fashion choice but a function choice.

Although I believe that I have reached the age where my "junk" has evolved into fine jewels.

Too hot to have shorts over shorts here. Yes I am proud commuting in my Castelli kit at 43 so I am a Mamil and proud.

Lycra Pearl Izumi chamois liner under a pair of cotton Old Navy drawstring shorts and a high visibility, thin cotton, button down fishing shirt with a long tail. The shirts have vented back and underarms.

I have no idea what this mid life crisis thing is people talk about. Me, I just never changed. Yes, I wear Lycra and have been for several decades. I'm 64 with a body that doesn't look like it. One of these days I'll act my age. I don't know what that age will be.

I dont qualify for the "MA" but often yes to the "MIL" part. It's very comfortable to ride in & I don't bother myself over what others may think of it.

My wife calls it my "gay bike suit" (disclaimer-neither of us is homophobic) I tell her it could be worse, my mid life crisis could be a 'Vette.
