You Know You Are A Cyclist When.....

 

1) You put on your jeans and they already have the right leg rolled up.

 

2) You do laundry when you don't have any more clean bike shorts.

... on one of those rare times when you are driving a car, you are stopped at the stop light, it turns green and you try pedalling the brake.

...or on the rare occasion when you are driving a car, stop at a red light where there are absolutely no cars around, forgetting that you are in a car, and start rolling through the red very carefully like you might do on your bike (this has happened a few times, but we've caught ourselves before actually running the light).

You'll pay a heck of a lot of bike art.

While sitting in your livingroom you realize you are thirsty, and you start grabbing at your shoulder for the bite valve of your camelback.

This might be pushing it for some.

After a three hour cleaning, greasing the BB and Head, oiling the drive train.

I'd rather drive a clean, well lubed bike than sleep on clean sheets.  Jeez, am I bent,?  

Thanks for the, "I'm a Commuter vocal and c harp."  Is he local talent I wonder?

The pumice stone in your shower is caked with grease.

You boyfriend thinks you are a bit crazy for spending 60 dollars on a pair of winter gloves.

Ha! My wife was the same way. The price we'll pay to keep our hands warm,eh?

I had a funny dream two days ago, it still makes me giggle.

I'm driving in a very subcompact car.  Like you, some times when I do drive a car I'll  take routes that I would normally be biking on.  So I'm going along, next thing you know I'm operating the car on a bike path.  Think LFP minus the lake.  And I'm getting sneered at too.  The looks are from women bike drivers and their dominating me while I drive the car on the bike path.  They almost make me crash into a brick wall with a fast pitch rectangle drawn on it.  After I narrowly avoid the the brick wall crash and awaken.  Those looks were piercing, deadly menacing too! 

Is my anima putting me on notice?  :)

You consider not hanging your bike back on a hook just cause you like the way your wheels look....

(I typically hang my road bike when I come home.  It's been collecting dust up until the last few days of nice weather we've had.

I am realizing how much I like the look of those huge road wheels in comparison to the frame and any of my other commuter/folding bikes.)  This may be better under the bike porn thread....
