‘My husband’s hobby’

[DNAshelicase]

Blah blah ‘my husbands hobby’ or ‘special interest’, they’re always ‘heavily involved in’ or ‘invests a lot of time and money in his hobby’

It’s cycling. It’s fucking CYCLING and more specifically its cycling at bedtime/bath time. Can we all agree that there is no need to be a tease and it’s not even slightly ‘outing’ your husband is one of millions across the country with a beer belly and a Lycra drawer.

YANBU: It’s always cycling

YABU: No, my husband does something even more tragic like tail transport modelling, or pigeon fancying

I'm guessing you're not a fan of cycling?!!

[StillMedusa]

I can't vote... because mt DH's hobby is cycling ... AND kayaking! Double whammy!
But somehow he manages not to be an asshole about it, and joins in family life too :)

(He does have a drawer full of lycra tho... plus water kit...)

[FactorFifty]

I admit when I see a middle aged man in Lycra clogging up country lanes I think 'another MN family dodger'

[Shadenevermadeanybodylessgay]

Collecting model trains & building a miniature railway in our spare room 😣😣

[DNAshelicase]

Haha! No issue with cycling, I’ve just seen so many threads when OP teases the hobby and it always ends up being cycling

[Mrsjayy]

I always want it to be axe throwing or falconary my dh is fish he would come over all funny if i suggested actual exercise !

[PerpendicularVincent]

it is always cycling

[Mrsjayy]

Fishing* my friends dh is lycra clad most weekends and even goes on holiday to cycle that would do me in every holiday revolving round a bike.

[Spaceprincess]

Mines is historical sword fighting...I find it sexy...

[PansyTea]

Yanbu. It really is always cycling. It's the new stamp collecting.

[DNAshelicase]

And the ‘Is my husband having an affair’ threads are 50/50 ‘a woman from work’/‘a special friend from cycling club’

[ChazsBrilliantAttitude]

Let’s be fair it could also be golf. A nice stroll in the sunshine with your mates followed by lunch and a pint in the clubhouse.
Another family avoidance strategy.

[C0untDucku1a]

Yabu. Sometimes it is golf.

[StillCoughingandLaughing]

We’ve had this thread more times than Katie Price has had her face rearranged. Why do we need it on a weekly basis?

[poptypingchef]

Hahahahaha before I even opened this I thought ‘bet it’s about cycling’

[GrandmaSharksDentures]

Scouts

[DNAshelicase]

my dad’s was golf, how could I forget golf

@StillCoughingandLaughing Have a and a brew you grump!

[KUGA]

Cyclists do my head in so no comment.

[OverthinkingThis]

Surely it's dogging

[Jeezoh]

It’s either cycling or running/marathon training. But usually cycling. For what it’s worth, my OH manages to fit a lot of sport into his week and still do his share of the family workload so it is possible.

Me too. MN has changed how I view cyclists totally.

[ThighThighOfthigh]

Cyclists are everything that's wrong with Britain today, everything.

[itsasmallwordafterall]

@StillCoughingandLaughing because somewhere out the right now there's a poor woman stuck home with the kids by herself when she's likely already done the lions share with the mid week training that cycling entails and her selfish bastard of a husband has fecked off again on the shitting thing.

[princesskatethefirst]

I live in the country and can never get anywhere fast due to all this family avoiding cyclists. There's hundreds of them all day everyday! The farm /b/b next door even runs cycling holidays 🙄
