Ahh, good ole Beaufort. Loved it the second time I lived there, not so much the first time.

When you fail out of college with only 4 credits to go because of you spend all your time either biking or looking at bikes on line!!!

HAHAHAHA! ha ha ..... ha?

Everyone else thinks you're nuts when buying a pair of $15 BOLTS is your happy for the week. (self-extracting crank bolts, specifically)

Your idea of a first date is going for a bike ride.

When buying a bottled drink, you stop and compare containers in an attempt to figure out which would best fit into a bottle cage.

I loved reading all the reasons so far - I was nodding and saying "yep, done that" to most.

You have permanent "helmet hair".

You find it easier to walk in cleats than normal shoes.

You walk into a bike shop just for the smell.

Your bike is worth more than your car.

You think you actually look good in lycra.

...and you can think of more than 3 things for this thread....

edp773

When you detail your bike weekly, and your car never!

When the garage is too full of bike stuff to park the car.

When you fill up your car and think about if you could commute 90 miles a day!!

gboy

Yup, me too. Though, I asked the driver who hit me to first drive the bike and myself to the shop and then the hospital right after.

If you were truely addicted you wouldn't own a car

ROFL!

You have a 6-bike stand and 3 wall hooks in your garage and your (wife's) car has to stay parked outside.

10. Your surgeon tells you you need a heart valve replacement and you ask if you have a choice between Presta and Schrader.
9. A measurement of 44-36-40 doesn't refer to the latest Playboy centerfold, but that new gear ratio you were considering for your Cobra.
8. A Power Bar starts tasting better than a Snickers. 7. The bra your significant other finds in your glove compartment belongs to your Trek and not the cute waitress at Denny's.
6. You wear your heart monitor to bed to make sure you stay within your target zone during any extracurricular activities.
5. The funeral director tells you "NO!" you can't ride your Cannondale in the funeral procession, even if you keep your headlight on.
4. You experience an unreasonable envy over someone who has bar end extenders longer than yours.
3. You're too tired for hanky-panky on a Friday night but pump out a five-hour century on Saturday. 2. Your wife tells you the only way she'll let you ride across the country is over her dead body and you tell her, "If that's the case, you'll be my first speed bump!" AND the number-one reason you know you're addicted to bicycling...
1. You no longer require a hankie to blow your nose.

*you're able to build another bicycle out of the spare parts you find lying around (including frame)
*all the new people at school know you as "the guy on the orange bike"
*you grow a beard, and the first comment you get is "you now have helmet hair ALL OVER YOUR HEAD"

(all three do apply to me)

Utterly Brilliant:




When every decision you make -- shopping, social, political -- hinges on cycling.

Your buttocks is permanently formed to the shape of your saddle.

You can't squat down anymore becuase your huge leg muscles get in the way.

Your grocery shopping is reduced to the bare essentials according to what you can fit in your panniers and strap to your rack

You bring your bicycle to your room every night, regardless of how many stairs there are.

your crazy like me and want to bike around the world--->www.stevesworldbiketrip.com

You call in sick so you can go to a bike race, and you get fired because of it.

best thing that ever happened to me.

Serendipper 

When E-baying, you tuck in aero position at computer during last minutes of auction.
When walking, you try to get the jump on the roadie at the stoplight.
When walking, you still look for safe place to lock bike in front of building, even though it's at home.

The Seldom Kill

If driving you regularly jerk your heel out instead of braking for stop lights.

igot hit and bounced off the hood of the car and as i was laying on the ground the first thought was my bike its bent

When you crash on a group ride, your first thought is "gotta catch the pack", and you feel no pain.

msviolin57

You're going down the road and you see a big bump or pothole, and think "Yikes, I'd better be careful going over that."

Then, you realize you're driving your car.

Nachoman

You yell "on your left" out of your car window when passing other vehicles;
You tell the paramedic to save your bike first.
You apply Assos Chamois Cream because you know you'll be sitting in you chair all day long.

*When you organise a years worth of holidays around your cycling clubs calender.
*The only time you get up early is to get a good start to the days touring.
*When the boss gives you a tube of "Anusol" as a secret santa present at the Xmas show at work.

Did this on Saturday...

When you're walking down the street and hear a car coming and start thinking "Do I take the lane, or leave him enough room to pass?"

huhenio

Driving long distances on a car with your forearms on the steering wheel
Leaning on curves while driving
Calculating calories that you might have spent riding 1000 miles instead of driving
Your saddle is stiffer than your kitchen cutting board
Considering how many pounds left I have of extra body weight before buying a lighter bike
Driving 12 mph on a hill, as you would do on a bike
Putting your manual tansmission in neutral while going downhill.
coasting on rolling hills till you find the sweet spot , and gearing down to it ... on the car.

When I got done with the MS HEB 150, I was passing people and then getting in front of them so they could draft me. While I was walking
