You have a crash and your first question is “How’s my bike?”
"Can you help me clean my bike? I have to go to the hotel room, I think I've hurt my hand."
Morgan, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Heal quickly!
Your wife tells you the only way she’ll let you ride across the country is over her dead body and you tell her, “If that’s the case, you’ll be my first speed bump!”
You have stopped even trying to explain to your other half why you need more than one bike…you just go buy another one and figure it will all work out in the divorce settlement.
You see nothing wrong with discussing the connection between hydration and urine color.
You find your Shimano touring shoes to be more comfortable and stylish than your new trainers.
You have more money invested in your bike clothes than in the rest of your combined wardrobe.
“Four cheeseburgers and four large French Fries” is for you.
You see a fit, tanned, Lycra-clad young thing ride by, and the first thing you check out is his or her bicycle.
You use wax on your chain, AND on your legs (boys)..... You know who you are
Your bike has more miles on its computer then your car’s odometer.
You open up a drive-thru for bikers to come get their braces on and adjusted.
Congrats to DR Smiles for being an innovator....
Smile Miles, I almost have enough points to get a NEW jersey!
"Big Man, thanks for returning the chair"
You wear your bike shorts swimming.
Your bikes are worth more than your car.
You buy a people-carrier and immediately remove the rear seats to allow your bike(s) to fit.
When you move to a new area the first thing you look for is a bike shop.
You take your bike along when you shop for a car – just to make sure the bike will fit inside.
You view crashes as an opportunity to upgrade components.
You clean your bike(s) more often then your house.....
You put your bike in your car and the value of the total package increases by a factor of 3 (or better).
You can tell your other half, with a straight face that it’s too hot to mow the lawn and then bike off for a century.
Your kids bring a rear derailleur to “Show & Tell”.
Your car sits outside your garage because your garage is full of bikes and cycling gear.
You wear your heart monitor to bed to make sure you stay within your target zone during any extracurricular activities.
There is no time like the present, for postponing what you ought to be doing, and go bicycling instead…
You no longer require a hankie to blow your nose.
You smile at your evening date, and she politely points out that you seem to have bugs in your teeth.
You can’t seem to get to work by 8:30 AM, even for important meetings, but you don’t have any problems at all meeting your mates at 6:30 AM for a hundred-miler.
Your surgeon tells you you need a heart valve replacement and you ask if you have a choice between Presta and Schrader.
You’re too tired for hanky-panky on a Friday night but pump out a five-hour century on Saturday.
You wake up at 5:40am on a Sunday to post to your blog site about last week's biking adventures.
