Mid life crisis for men has changed?

Well I've done that when I was 19, so does that make it a mid life crisis when I do that at 35?

I think the answer lies in how big of a pot belly I have.

Since I started riding at 18, and basically have never stopped, does it still count as a mid-life crisis?

And no, I'm not about to go out and buy a Dogma. Or any carbon bike.

"Given the number of men aged 35-44 who are buying fancy-pants road racing machines, is this a 21st Century mid-life crisis?"

sweeeeeet... for a moment I thought they might be talking about me.

At 46 I am in the clear.

Man, I can't even do this right! 

I'm not buying $10,000+ bikes and $150 cycling bibs.  I'll keep riding my $600 roadie with my $60 bibs. 

Hmmmm, perhaps I should just start smoking and drinking lots more beer instead to buck this trend??

I fooled everyone when I bought my first Corvette at age 44.  Little did they know that I would wait until 51 to buy my first fancy road bike.

Timely.

A guy who works in another division hasn't seen me in a long time and the other day he saw me taking my bike into the station so I can do some trainer work.  "Working out there Jim?  You getting divorced?"

"Nope, just a mid-life crisis.  It was this or chasing strippers."  (Joke's on him though, if I race long distance I still get to hang out with strippers.)

Hi, my name is Greg, and I am a Mamil.

This is the first time I have been trendy or fashionable.

I'm guilty at age 46 and 5 bikes later, maybe 6 very soon. This is my mid life crisis and I been enjoying all of it. It is what keeps my sanity in check.

I'm only 29, but does this count as me having a mid(ish) life crisis?

Oh trust me, I think there's just as many "Wilmas" (women in lycra, middle-aged) as "Mamils" out there!  I should know, I'm one of them, but obviously we're just not as trendy yet

More power to the Mamils and Wilmas - they're getting out there, staying healthy and fit, and having fun at the same time 

If you happen to be a man, and you are the one pictured in the pink dress with white sunglasses, then yes.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
