The cycle virus

[spano]

how many of you agree

"cycling is like a disease"      (but a good one)

once you get into it you're hooked and it just doesn't stop..

I started cycling almost a year ago now, and have spend a HUGE amount of moola on bikes, yet I still find myself scrolling the classifieds whenever I get a chance...

it's like this urge can't be satisfied!!!

IS THERE A CURE???

[Captain Fastbastard Mayhem]

yes...

 

more cycling!

 

Or, if that don't work... ride a recumbent... (wait, did i just say that?)

 

Yes. It is an addiction. And i can't get over it....

 

[Zoo Cookie]

yup.

Tip: Being keen on cycling is good. But unless you're a pro racer, don't let it define you, it's unattractive to non-cyclists, which are in the majority... Stop occasionally and take a fun-check...

That sharp strike to the left ear from my wife every now and then brings a bit of reality to my cycling obsession .........

Problem if you and your wife both cycle.  After a while all your friends also cycle and then you have no none cycling friends.  The family is also not too chuffed because they never see you (luckily i can live with that)

[Loon]

Its not always an addiction. Its an excuse not to see unwanted family...

 

The "Sorry, I am riding then" excuse is great...

Non cyclist, you mean there are actually people who dont cycle, are there places where they can go for support, non cyclist, is that actually legal, and what do you mean stop occasionally, I always stop at the robot if there are cars coming, if thats what you mean.
