    Let me guess all the mamil's on this thread don't like the idea of 'hipsters' having fun on a bike?

    I'm a girl, and I'm 27. Can I still be a mamil?

    I don't have any issue with people having fun, I have an issue with hipster eejits, who ride fixies 'cause they're like so IN right now and OMG did you see the new Mark Ronson song he's totally on a bike, riding like muppets and giving the rest of us a bad name.

    Heck, if they're indoors falling off ramps that's fine by me. As long as they don't ride to and from the mini-velodrome.

    Nope, I'm afraid you can't be a mamil though there is probably another acronym you can hang your helmet off.

    Usually those that complain the most about another group having fun, secretly desire to do what the other group is doing.

    Do you want a road bike for Christmas?

    Christ. Some people have a real problem. And I'm not on about those in the video enjoying themselves.

    Nobody's pointed out that one of the competitors was a fully lycra'd 'proper' cyclist.

    The lycra was ironic.

    Hang on, I just watched this at last. Where were all the hipsters? I saw only one silly haircut, one headband, and then just people wearing pretty much what I wear when I'm not at work. When did jeans and a t-shirt become a target for hatred? I'd go to that, and I'd ride, it looks like a lot of fun.
