10 Signs Cycling has taken over your life

[RedheadDane]

Well... I love cycling as well. I'd still be rather annoyed if my SO had bike stuff all over the house. And I would want to bring my own books and movies into the household as well.

When you almost start crying because of the beauty of Summie's win in PR

I wasn't crying as much as laughing. But the reason was the same...

Got another one:

The main minus in inviting your grandparents down for your B-day is that it's the same day as the Amstel...

when your junk shows through your worn thin lycra and you don't care

 

[ElChingon]

It usually ends like this: "Well, if you find this boring and can't stand this any more - there is your luggage, there is the door, hand out my keys. Goodbye!"

Thank you! Couldn't of said it better as my reply would of included a few obscenities

 

[RedheadDane]

You actually pretty much yells at your Eurosport for showing some weightlifting competition rather than Brabantse Pijl. (I found another channel which did show the race!)

Your are reading this thread from a self help perspective and not from the humor perspective.

all the neighbors ask to use your tools and expect you to fix their bikes

 

[Boeing]

you can identify the riders and the break on tv before phil and paul.

 

[slowingfast]

Phil and Paul spend alot of time talking about their "colour" pieces and don't like breaking into them to commentate on what is happening in the race at that moment.
As a result, most people know who is in a break, etc, before they get around to commentating on that race.
Though I do think there might be another thread on them somewhere.....

Place it Local

You really work so hard. But why i have to shave my legs for Cycling?

Place it Local

 

[Fourier]

in common day conversations, regardless of the topic, you regularly quote a cycling website/forum as your source of information.

 

[RedheadDane]

While watching an add on Eurosport you're wondering where they want you to go this time Seriously, half the Eurosport adds are for visiting some country
That is, until the Astana team appear.

 

[Boeing]

you are rooting for Cadel to lose just because ozpsychofan69 is such a tool

 

[labratty]

It is impossible to say the phrase "shut up legs" without trying to sound like Jens.

 

[RedheadDane]

You learned the phrase "Shut up legs" from Jens Voigt.

(Ok, I guess this is an old one.)

You, as far as possible, schedule your day around the broadcasting of a race. And is really, really happy that your 12-hour exam is on the same day as the Giro rest day.

be glad mine are during the tour <_<

 

[The Hitch]

I had them during the Giro but on stages 5,6 and 10. First thing i did when i got my time table was to check my timetable against Giro schedule. Decided that misisng Strade Bianchi was adequate sacrifice for getting to see all mountain stages.

It means i came into my no more exams (hence no more uni for 6 months) high right during the Dolomites.

My schedule for the last 6 days has therefore been, wake up at 12, read whats happening in giro till 2, watch giro till 5, talk about Giro on forum till 4 am, go to sleep, restart whole schedule. Its why im posting about 200 posts a day atm.

Now thats a sign cycling has taken over your life.

[Parrulo]

[YoRUsh]

When you see everything that is not cycling in cycling-metaphores

 

[Fatclimber]

It goes without saying that every special occasion will be commemorated with a bike ride. Happy riding!

When no matter where you see the number 108 you feel a pang of sadness...
