Did 3 of them already in the past two years, and was considering signing up for Pickleball.

    My midlife crisis: I bought a ten year old car and started fixing it myself.

    I have bloody knuckles and bruised forearms and now a pretty bad oil leak but I replaced that goddamn turbo.

    I’m not quite there yet but i would probably just keep on cycling. It’s a great sport and even better for a midlife crisis. There’s even a word for it: MAMIL (Middle-Aged Men in Lycra)

      I’m a middle-aged cyclist (though I got into it around 20) who eschews lycra. I hate the look, the fit, and the feel. I bike in vans slip-on, running shorts, and t-shirts. At most I’ll wear chamois under the shorts. No clips for me either, flats with the peg screws forever. 90% road cyclist btw, very little mountain biking. Oh and no fitness tracker / GPS as of a few years ago. I just need as little friction as possible between being not on the bike and being on the bike. For me it translates to more fun and many more miles. These days some would call my style “xbiking”.

    I fell into running…hard. I went from almost no physical exercise to running marathons over the space of 2 years. Did my first 100km ultra in December.

      I’m on track to do the same right now. Was virtually sedentary until January of this year and now I’m doing 25 miles a week and get grumpy when I can’t run.
