Is there an acronym for the type of cyclist I am?

I read about one about men in Lycra (can't remember what it was tho')

Am I a MALB ( Middle Aged Lady on a Bike) or an OWC ( Old Woman Cycling) or does one actually exist?

Any ideas?

MAMIL is your middle aged man in lycra.

MALIL just doesn't have the same ring to it!!

Don't do lycra either!!

Possibly a skirt and sensible shoes? & I'd like a basket but I can't have one on my bike!

MAMIL is never complimentary, I find. :(
I'm a Diligent Plodder with Super Hot Technique... Dipsht? Heaven knows people enjoy thinking of cyclists only with sneers.

Well I am definitely a plodder but I have no technique.....I'm not even sure about the highway code

If I am on a painted line on the road and I go past a side road I think I have right of way
If I am on a shared pavement on a path I have to stop at each side road......that is so unfair!!
