10 Signs Cycling has taken over your life

[RedheadDane]

Can't really afford travelling to France...

a new one in this house. My oldest daughter is home from college for a week and noticed I wasn't watching the tour all day every day like the previous 19 years and why was I sleeping through the one mountain stage we tuned in to?. She thought something was wrong like I was depressed or something.

I'm not sure if that is a sign cycling still consumes my every thought or the pure boredom of 20 days of group tempo bike parade through France on a course designed to celebrate the french landscape and culture is cycling at all any more.

Buying L'Equipe in Spain first thing in the morning and taking in every word Pedro Delgado has been preaching on local TV.

On that note i posted a few years ago about my daughters neighbor friends at a neighborhood bbq drilling me about my legs and shaving. one mom freaked out...on me when she heard me tell them I use burts bees after...it has been a neighborhood joke for a long time...so rather than ignore the grilling like the past 10 years I just answered for everyone.... so before the mom used to call me closet behind my back because i shave but after she accused me of being a creeper... because I told them the truth in front of everyone btw.

She... accused you of being a creeper because you told them that you ride your bike?

Because I told them the products I use when they asked my wife in front of everyone and her daughter, standing next to my daughter and wife. wacky lady. tells everyone im a homo for shaving for years then says Im a creeper for telling young ladies what products I use. she hates skinny people

[pastronef]

in October, when the Tour is unveiled, you begin to think how to change your July work shifts, to be at home in the afternoon for the mountain stages

your family knows that July is off limits for anything until the riders cross the finish line every day

While watching Paris - Nice...your mum walks past the tv and says "how come that Movistar rider has done so much work at the front" .....

ahahahahhahah!!!

that should be the stage when Levi fell twice

when you are driving along in your car, see a group and can instantly tell which riders have proper saddle height.

 

[Cancellator]

You have old pants that fit your waist but don't fit your thighs...

Guess it does something that I've had that Giro picture I posted around here as my FB picture since... since the Giro!
I was planning to remove it once the Giro was over but; HEY! It's a nice picture! And I'm lazy...

When you're explaining the cycling tactics of the mens road race to your workmates using paperclips and give names to all the paperclips.

'The green paperclip is Cav, yellow is Wiggo, Red Millar, Blue is Froome & white is Stannard. Now these paperclips are Nibali, Vino, Uran, Phinney Gilbert...'

 

[RedheadDane]

LoL!
I would've loved to see that!

#6- my wife asked if she could borrow my razor--gasp!

My daughter asked me to teach her how to shave rather than her mother

 

[Fourier]

You know far too much about the snot-wiping capabilities of different brands of gloves

 

[RedheadDane]

You think of how various roads in your local area would do in a race.

I personally think climbing this one could be rather nifty!

 

[LongSprint]

You have more pairs of knicks than you do pairs of undies.

As I was driving in my car doing errands today I spotted a cyclist that was riding with his upper body rocking side to side up a hill...and the first thought that popped into my mind was CHRIS ANKER SORENSEN!!
