This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Sounds like you've encountered MAMILs in the wild.

Middle Aged Men In Lycra.

I like to point out that a 10k bike is really just a cheaper mid-life crisis than a sports car, tends to shut down the conversation one way or another pretty quick.

No. These are folks who have been riding since they were teenagers and got 10K bikes back then too and their first car was a Lexus, etc.

They are just rich people. Lots and lots of people, are rich.

Wealth doesn't necessarily exclude them from being MAMILs, but from what you've described, it seems there are plenty of other reasons to ride solo.
