When you a cape coloured, buy a Gti with big plans to do things to it. Start cycling and now you have a towbar as the only mod, and wash it every 6 months

 

...and wash your bike 12 times a month...

 

Hilarious. :w00t:

You cannot get going with things to do around the house, and the wife says , "Just pretend it's a bike race."

The black widow should not hear about this. 

I will get it again and again.  :whistling:  ^_^

When you take a daytime flight and book a window seat (not on the wing) so you can scope out possible trails....

Haha...just thought about this while reading the thread! I too spotted some great trails from the air and make a note of them to see how/where you can access it :-)

When you see any random mound of dirt and be like "I bet I can huck it".

True story- Just outside of Howick the municipality has built a paupers grave yard right next to the mtb trail. People are now calling it a possible pump track because all the mounds look awesome to ride.

If you got a GPS watch IE Fenix 3, get a signal through the window and hit Man Overboard widget when you see something....that's crazy, who would do that....?

When I started cycling I was a little condescending towards couples who dressed in matching kit, rode same bikes,etc.

 

Since I have been in a relationship with a cyclist I have morphed into thatspace.

 

Same car (suv) Subaru Forester

Same bike Santa Cruz Tallboy - previously Santa Cruz Superlights

Same kit but only in the good old days when we received sponsored kit

 

At least the colours of the cars and bikes are different

Nice! I also have a Forester. And a Tallboy. And a Highball. And a Stigmata. And a Blur. And a problem...

When you go to your friends birthday party at lunch and then sleep through the whole afternoon while 20 other people are making a racket all around you......just sayin.

You go on honeymoon to Mauritius for 2 weeks and take the bike with so you can do a 2 day road race. (wedding and honeymoon where in the racing season, cant be off the bike for 2 weeks)

I was (am) actually considering exactly that... But officially I'm not

You can only see so much on Google earth, then you have to persuade a buddy to do a flyover in his light plane to see if it would be ridable, he also rides so win/win

true story

 

I was driving through the harbour and there was a pot hole in the road ... I swerved to avoid it and at the same time pointed to the ground where the hole was for the benefit of the cars behind me ...... once you realise what you have done, you can only laugh
