You Might Be A Bike Weenie If...

 

  • You hear someone had a crash and your first question is "How's the bike?"
  • You convert your car's brake & gas pedals to clipless.
  • You see nothing wrong with discussing the connection between hydration and urine color.
  • You refuse to buy a couch because that patch of wallspace is taken up by the bike.
  • You have more money invested in your bike clothes than in the rest of your combined wardrobe.
  • "Four cheeseburgers and four large French Fries" is for you.
  • You see a fit, tanned, Lycra-clad young woman ride by, and the first thing you check out is her bicycle.
  • You empathize with the roadkill.
  • Despite all that winter weight you put on, you'll skim weight by buying titanium components
  • You use wax on your chain, but not on your car.
  • Your

    bike bag consists of an outdated Power Bar, one tire lever, a

    questionable patch kit, a run-over spoke wrench, an all-in-one, a rusty

    allen wrench, change with hell knows what stuck on it, a couple of

    tubes without a clue which one has a hole, and that peanut butter

    sandwich you swore you brought on the ride two weeks ago, all tucked

    into a bag the size of your fist.

  • Your first course when you eat out is a large banana split.
  • You yell "On Your Left!" when passing another car.
  • You yell "Hole!" when you see a pothole while driving your car.
  • Your bike has more miles on its computer then your car's odometer.
  • You wear your riding gloves when driving your car.
  • You wear your bike shorts swimming.
  • You wear bike race T-shirts all the time, including under dress shirts.
  • Your bikes are worth more than your car.
  • When you move to a new area the first thing you look for is a bike shop.
  • You have more bike jerseys than dress shirts.
  • You take your bike along when you shop for a car - just to make sure the bike will fit inside.
  • You start yelling at cars to "hold your line."
  • You view crashes as an opportunity to upgrade components.
  • You clean your bike(s) more often then your car.
  • You install bike mounts in the back of your double cab.
  • You spend weekends during the summer spraying arrows on the sides of roads.
  • You and your significant other have and wear identical riding clothes.
  • You

    can't seem to get to work by 8:00 AM, even for important meetings, but

    you don't have any problems at all meeting your buddies at 5:00 AM for

    a training ride.

  • You can tell your wife, with a straight face that it's to hot to mow the lawn and then bike off for a century.
  • You regard inter-gender discussion of your genital pain/size/shape/utility as normal.

    Your New Years resolution is to put more miles on your bike than your car, and you do it.

  • You know your cadence, but you have no idea what your speed is.
  • When driving your car you lean over the steering wheel, just like an aerobar.
  • Your kids bring a rear derailleur to "Show & Tell".
  • Your car sits outside your garage because your garage is full of bikes and cycling gear.
  • You tailgate a 18-wheeler whilst driving to get the drafting effect.

I'm scared of people that do that, but it's usually not cyclists - its grannies and grandpas that don't drive too well.
