‘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

No vote button

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

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...)

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

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

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

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 !

it is always cycling

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.

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

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

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

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.

Yabu. Sometimes it is golf.

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

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

Scouts

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

@StillCoughingandLaughing Have a and a brew you grump!

Cyclists do my head in so no comment.

Surely it's dogging

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.

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

@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.

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 🙄
