you know you are a cyclist when.....

[anonymous-user]

you keep typing "wiggle" instead of "google"

[Phoenix]

.. you walk down the street and you point out the holes and other obstructions to people following you.

[ewenm]

...you walk down the street slipstreaming others in your "peleton"

[slomax]

get irritated when drivers stop in the cyclist section at traffic lights or don't leave you enough room to pass in traffic.

[Ken Sington]

. . . you do that one fingered nose blowing thing. In polite company

That works for runners too

[lingus75]

You become angry on pistonheads when cyclists are public enemy no.1

[Progressive]

...you 'go for the brakes' when somebody suddenly walks in front of you.

Even when you're in your car.

[coupeboy]

You'll only buy a car with a boot big enough for your bicycle.

[JQ]

When you're sitting in traffic in the car thinking you would have been home 10 minutes ago if you'd been on the bike.

[louiebaby]

The weather at 16:30 when you look out the window affects your mood for the whole evening.

[Saddle bum]

When in a pub, you drink beer from the corner of the glass (like it's a bidon) whilst looking forward.

You think shaved legs are normal.

You lean into a corner when pushing a trolley around Tescos.

[Accelebrate]

You tuck your right hand trouser leg into your sock before jumping in the car.

[raf_gti]

You check the windsock at work to see if you will have a headwind home or not.

[P-Jay]

This should be renamed: You know you're a Roadie when...

So for a touch of balance

You can describe a type of mud or rock in infinite detail and your friends know exactly what you mean.

You can be 30+ and in a boring banking meeting drop 'super stoaked' into a sentence without noticing.

Everything you own has at least a thin veneer of mud on it, except oddly your bike collection which when it's not being used has a cleanliness that would put most operating theatres to shame.

You get caught staring out of the window at some beautiful hills during your mates wedding (true story).

You can't recall the last time your body didn't have at least one wound or bruise on it.

[cone]

You and the wife lunge for "the sign" (but when in a car)

[Parsnip]

Youthink shaved legs AND dodgy tan lines are normal.

Your most expensive pair of shoes has cleats in the sole.

Oh, so very, very true.

I hope SWMBO never finds out just how much I paid for them.
