You hear someone had a crash and your first question is "How's the bike?"

You have stopped even trying to explain to your husband why you need two bikes...you just go buy another one and figure it will all work out in the divorce settlement.

You buy your crutches instead of renting.

You refuse to buy a couch because that patch of wallspace is taken up by the bike.

You use wax on your chain, but not on your car.

Your bike has more miles on its computer then your car's odometer

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.

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.

Your car is filthy, but your bike gets wiped down after every ride.

Your bike is worth MORE than your car.

Your spouse threatens to leave you because if you don't stop spending every weekend riding...and your riding buddies buy you a consolation beer after the next group ride.

You save worn out cogs to make mobiles.

A good looking babe/hunk rides by, and you're checking out the bike brand and gruppo.

You're impressed by guys wearing pink jerseys.

The bike stays. Anything that tries to compete eventually loses.

(Pay attention, gals.)

A chip on your chainstay means more to you than crashing your car.

You spend all your money on upgrades, not food. (thats what friends are for)

When you crash on a rocky trail your first thought is to place your body between your bike and the rocks.

When you have a yard sale, sell all your furniture so you have a place to store your bike and equipment

Your bike is the only thing you have been abler to keep for 20 years (what was her name anyway, I forget)

They make wax for cars? Man, I can't even find the chain on mine.
