You know cycling's in your blood when...

100%....I'm always doing this!

Ive often driven a section of road at the same speed I ride it.  On the bike it feels like I'm flying....in the car it feels so S>>>L>>>O>>>W.

When you always tell your wife the parts you bought was on special, half price, I swear.

Best deal ever! If I didn't buy it now, it would have gone!

Ditto...my god, what's wrong with us.

Some of my friends only see me when I ride or surf with them.

As a result the only vehicle they ever see me is my bakkie.

 

Some time back my one buddy tunes me.

You've got a wife and 2 kids. Don't you think its time you invested in a car?

I was actually shocked he simply assumed I was that selfish or irresponsible.

I have a car my bru. You just never see me drive it.

Tell me about it!!!

 

This year alone:

Crash at Argus on hospital bend elite bunch, still finished with A batch. Damage: broken ribs, bruised kidneys, internal bleeding = few weeks off.

First week back riding properly I pull my foot out the pedal in a sprint at 60kph.

Damage: big time concussion, shattered clavicle, deep head laceration, internal bleeding, some skin missing = 1 week in bed and 6 off the bike.

Back on the bike for a few weeks, so decided to go have some fun on the nationals xco course. Walking speed OTB, landed perfectly wrong: broken back (compression fractures and anterior wedging in 2 vertebrae) = 8 weeks off the bike and my season has gone to pot.

 

Have to keep reminding my self it could be worse.

When you point at pot holes, but you are driving in your car. And a new chainring tattoo like every week.

When your bike costs more than your car:

Car: Toyota Tazz, 1999

Bike: Trance Advanced SX

 

You do that math...

I like your style, I raise you:

Car: Mazda 626, 2000

Bikes: Santa Cruz Tallboy Enve Spec.

Cervelo S5 Di2 with DA C50's

 

When I have both bikes on the bike rack I spend more time looking in the review mirror, to make sure no one rear end's me. [emoji16]

Ok, I thought that I was bad with injuring myself, but this takes it to a different level. Perhaps stamp collecting is an option?

We are all so screwed up...

 

I couldn't care less about the car I drive... BUT my bike...

... Dodging mild and harmless road bumps when in my car

Jumping speed bumps when in the Landy!

['Dale]

... I visit the bike shop just to look leaving my wallet in the car.

At least 4 times a week. Every week.

 

No, really....

Just to look ????

When you push the shopping trolley as if you are riding in the drops.
