Okay, so this is definitely not us nor anyone we know, but apparently there is a whole middle aged cycling thing going on around the world. What? Well. A new documentary reportedly explains it all: MAMIL: Middle Aged Men In Lycra. If you know someone, or are someone, and you want to check this documentary film out on February 21, 2018 (you know, just to make yourself feel superior) then click here for a complete listing. For the official word on the film, please follow the jump.
New York, New York, January 30 – Through special arrangement with Regal, Edwards and UA Cinemas throughout the United States, the new documentary feature MAMIL (Middle Aged Men in Lycra) will be presented in a one-night-only event screening at more than 300 theaters, including those in major markets New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Miami, San Diego, Denver, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, San Francisco, Sacramento, Boston, Indianapolis and Minneapolis.
MAMIL captures on film the spirit and the members of a movement that is growing throughout the world — middle-aged men taking to their cycles and biking through mountains, city streets, you name it, all in the name of CYCLING. Some do it for health, some for love, others just to clear their heads and face the world. And despite all the crashes, mega-pricey carbon fiber cycles, and wives worrying that they’ve been replaced by two wheels and a $1,200 bicycle seat, these guys wouldn’t have it any other way.
Filmed in the U.S., Australia and the U.K., MAMIL is a celebration of the love that can finally be shared – that of man for bike. You might be in an LGBT cycling club in New York or Christian in the Midwest; you might be a lawyer or a cancer survivor, you might be hauling your middle-aged belly over the next hill, or speeding along the open road, but you still thrill to the meditation of the bike.
