Mamil (or MAMIL) is an acronym and a pejorative term for a "middle-aged man in lycra" – that is, men who ride an expensive racing bicycle for leisure, while wearing body-hugging jerseys and bicycle shorts. The word was reportedly coined 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, held in London. The British UCI World Championships victories in recent years have also spurred interest in cycling in the UK.

- Memil är ett nedsättande ord för medelålders man som cyklar fort och hänsynslöst. Ordet är bildat med det engelska ordet mamil som förlaga, vilket i sin tur är en förkortning för "middle-aged man in lycra", alltså ungefär en medelålders man i åtsittande träningskläder. Det engelska ordet verkar ha sitt ursprung i Australien, och syftade då på en viss typ av manliga simmare. Memil togs upp på språkrådets nyordslista för 2012 och kom med i Svenska akademiens ordlista 2015. (sv)

The British UCI World Championships victories in recent years have also spurred interest in cycling in the UK. In Australia the popularity of this sort of cycling has been associated with the Tour Down Under and the 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans. Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott has been described as a "mamil". And in Slovakia, for example, the popularity of racing cycling and wearing colorful Lycra on the roads rose after Peter Sagan begun winning in Tour de France and World championships. Buying an expensive road bicycle has been described as a more healthy and affordable response to a midlife crisis than buying an expensive sports car. There are documentaries investigating this cycling culture. MAMIL is the title of a one-man play by New Zealand playwright , written for actor Mark Hadlow. It is also the title of a feature-length documentary directed by and produced by Bird, and . (en)
