It works, too!!!! I won my last auction for a track frame due to my aerodynamic racing form!
(now If someone would invent aero bars for my keypad...hmmmm...there's an idea! I'll be right back!)

When no matter how many times you are offered a seat at a party, you say " No thanks I'd rather stand".('cus your thighs are secretly on fire!!!!!!!)

When you're walking on the path at the local park with your kids and your 20-month old daughter has stopped to examine some bug on a plant and you call back "C'mon, Sweetheart! You're going to get dropped!"

You've bought 5 new bikes by October, and think you need a new bike for Christmas.

You're constantly counting the number of spokes on car wheels and laugh because they use radial spoking on the rear.

You get an email from the office safety coordinator to be careful of some suspicious guy on a bike who's been following women to their cars. It has a very detailed personal description but the first thing you think of is, but what kind of bike is it?

BlazingPedals

* You hear someone walk up behind you, so you try to check your helmet mirror to see who it is.
* You and your buddies 'take the sidewalk' and walk to lunch in a double paceline.
* A 30 mile ride is a good excuse for ice cream.
* You turn down overtime because it would make you late for the club ride.
* You don't commute by bicycle, but you have a bike in your office just for lunch hours.
* You received three different bike parts catalogs in the mail today.
* Most of the bookmarks in your web browser are for bike-related sites.
* Your Christmas list is all bike-related stuff.
* Your LBS owner knows you by your first name AND can name four or more of your bikes.
* The LBS owner ASKS YOU which new brand he should carry.
* Your buddies don't know you're bald, because they only see you with your helmet on.
* Your legs are smoother than your wife's.
* You leave your wife alone on her birthday so you can do an out-of-state bike ride.

I'm sure I guilty of far more than that, but that'll do for starters...

I've done this many times!

* Taking the Denver Metro Bicycling Map, highlighting every road and path you have ever ridden and then writing in exact mileages between each highlighted junction so you can plot out new rides and figure out exactly how far it will be.

* Go skiing or hiking with the family and continually look up for my helmet mirror to see if they are still behind me. Maybe I should just where my helmet when I go skiing or hiking.

* When you spend a week or more of vacation time riding a bike tour of some kind.

Belugadave

* When "Biking" has become it's own line item on the family budget.

When passing people in the halls at work you catch yourself before you tell them, "On your left...".

*When work makes you travel to Mexico for 5 weeks, you volunteer to work for free at a local bike repair shop to get your bike fix (pun intended)--I'm in Mexico now and I did this
*When on above mentioned trip, you quickly look at the bikes people are riding for componentry as you pass by on the local bus.
*You're tempted to grab and ride one of their bikes just to get a bit of a ride in
*When you get money, you buy books and bike parts and with what's leftover, you buy food and clothes (a modification of a quote by Erasmus)
*You try to come up with ways to bicycle commute to work even if you live there--yep, that's me
*You read this forum for more than 20 minutes every day

powerhouse

* When you take bike rides that make the bicycle as tired as you are in the end so you need to bring your bike into the shop when you're done.

Delta

* You can't wait for your boss to leave the office so you can see if anyone has posted back and given you good advice for your next saddle.

When your wife refers to your favorite bike as "The Other Woman".

But it's OK cuz Mollie knows how much I love her. When she gets jealous, I buy her a new chainring.

And a necklace works on the wife.

here and there

I do both of these constantly


When you wipe your nose with the base of your thumb where the terry cloth would be on your gloves.

When driving you slow down way early and feather the brakes to avoid having to make a full stop

You lean into turns when you're driving

You're room is a mess, the house is a mess, there's tons of yard work to be done and you're too tired to get it done, BUT you have no problem getting up at 5:15 to go ride

LilSprocket

omg... I'm an addict

car battery craps out from lack of use

You and a friend who is a car guy talk about the performance of vehicles... He's constantly talking about various car components and you campare those to performance bike parts.

You're the only guy you know who buys nail polish... but not for your nails but for touch-up paint when you can't find actual touch-up paint for your frame.

wabbit

when you roll your eyes when someone complains that their spouse spent **** thousand on a new bike.

when you have an entire load of laundry dedicated solely to smelly bike stuff

when your entire life revolves around cycling in the month of july- riding and then watching the Tour.

when you have major abdominal surgery in March and wonder if you'll be able to get back on your bike in time for spring (and yes, I did). And at the follow up appointment,you don't ask the doctor "when will I be able to have sex again?" You ask, "When will I be able to ride my bike again?" Lets face it, you can have sex any time of year.

SingleSpeeDemon

You park your bike in the livingroom, make yourself comfortable on the sofa and just blankly stare at it for hours. The bike, not the sofa.

When your bike(s) cost more than your car(s).

Your co-workers will not let you drive the company vehicle because you keep driving on the road shoulder.
