WHAT DOES MAMIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mamil

Mamil or MAMIL is an acronym of "middle-aged man in lycra". The term used to describe a middle aged man who rides an expensive racing bicycle for leisure, wearing tight-fitting bicycle jerseys and bicycle shorts. The neologism "mamil" has been reported as being created by British marketing research firm Mintel in 2010. It gained further popularity in the United Kingdom with the success of Bradley Wiggins in the 2012 Tour de France and at the 2012 Summer Olympics Buying an expensive road bicycle has been described as a more healthy response to a midlife crisis than buying an expensive sports car. In Australia the popularity of cycling with middle-aged men wearing lycra has been described as associated with the Tour Down Under and the 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans. The current Prime Minister of Australia Tony Abbott has been described as a "mamil". This rise in popularity has been echoed in the United Kingdom where Olympic, Tour de France, and UCI World Championships victories in recent years have spurred interest.
