You know your a cyclist when......

Ok, there are heaps of these out there so i'll start.

You know you are a cyclist when:

1. You've heard the words "Just a friendly ride, no one gets dropped" while rapidly falling back in the pack.

2. You've said the words "Just a friendly ride, no one gets dropped" while watching someone else rapidly fall back in the pack.

3. People at the gym laugh at you for benching just the bar, but are totally shocked when you leg press more than anyone.

4. You've entertained quitting your job and moving back in with your folks to free up more time for riding.

5. Driving your car you swerve around potholes.

6. Driving your car you lift your ass when going over potholes

7. Driving your car, you tuck into an aerodynamic position behind the drivers seat.



Let the fun begin

9) You're afraid to climb flights of stairs because you're in the middle of a perfect taper.

10) You have deep knowledge of the women's shaving cream aisle at the grocery store.

11) You can't wait to ride because you can eat some Espresso Love GU's which are like a party in your mouth.

12) You curse at the poor form of a 12 year old mountain biker on a Wal-Mart Huffy

You **** off all of the cars behind you because traffic is heavy comming at you, and you are holding them back to wait to give ample room when passing the cyclists.

Also, your swear a whole heck of alot when you see a cyclist not obeying traffic laws (whatever they might be for your jurisdiction) and they put both of you in harms way.

do you mean roadie or actual cyclist? there's a BIG difference. cuz one of the 2 can get the job done with flat pedals and no lycra and the other one carries musical equipment around for bands.
 
Your children are annoyed that you insist of giving them bike-related items for Christmas and birthdays

People in cars are annoying idiots who're only in the way!

Nothing beats the feeling you get by riding past a long row of cars in a traffic jam. Ha-ha! Suckerrrsss!!!

You don't understand the talk about Getting your bike out of the shed in the Spring. Come on; you used it during the Winter too... :rolleyes:

Your wife/spouse accuses you with a comment like "You have to CHOOSE between ME or the Bike!!" and you respond with " I am going to miss you, honey !!"

Your clavicle has been broken in at least three different places

You always go to bed in a fetal position for more aerodynamic sleeping

You have been slipped of by drivers at least a dozen times

You think soccer players are pussies for dropping dead after a short rap on their legs, while you after breaking both legs just "walk it off"
