When it's 3am and you're bored.. instead of hitting up the TV for the cure for boredom, you hop on the bike and put in a quick 15 miles.

When you drive at night you put on a bright yellow jersey and flicker your headlights so they are in "flashing" mode. And you have a dolphin torch mounted to the bonnet for a "steady" light.

When you meet a girl and she says she wants to do something this weekend and you suggest a bike ride.

You show up at a business meeting in riding shorts, shirt, helmet, goggles and clip shoes and when everyone stares, you stare back and ask 'what?'

When you are the living embodiment of the famous "ideal bicycle collection" formula:
The ideal number of bikes = X + 1, where X= The number of bikes you already own!
When the only thing between you replacing all your underpants with bike shorts
is... the lack of funds in your bank account!!
When you love to wear bike shorts (as "underwear" if need be! ) ALL DAY; they make the so-called "ergonomic" office chair much more comfortable! 
When you literally have enough bikes to set them up in enough different ways so that all you need to do is choose the one that suits the day's weather and/or plans!
When you find yourself having to force yourself to "choose" your "victim"...I mean, bike...so you don't waste all day in indecision instead of riding! (You want to ride ALL of them!! All the time!!! )
When you have to "make space" for your computer because the room you want to keep the "puter" in is FULL OF BIKES!!!
When the entire apartment is steadily filling up with bikes! AND YOU LIKE IT THAT WAY!!!

For your tenth wedding anniversary you quit your jobs, sell your house, pack your panniers and hit the road to cycle around the world.

ALL the people at your LBS see you coming--a mile away--and you are glad they do! (Saves waiting once you get there!)
You think that taking your pet feline(s) to the vet in a bike trailer (w/proper carrier, of course!) is the cat's meow (sorry!)
Buying a new bike every year is just so " pitiful"...you need to buy several just to keep the other bikes company (or so you tell yourself...).
You feel "undressed" without bike shoes--or a helmet! (So "flame" me!
)
A $500.00 NiteRider lighting system is a "nominal" investment.
You consider a ride during a snowstorm to be simply a practice run for next summer's "technical" trail rides!
A twenty-mile ride is just a "jaunt down the road apiece"...
You are always looking for any excuse to get on your "steed "
When you say "Hi!" to another cyclist, you are really saying "Nice bike!"
A day when you DON'T have a chance to get logged on to "Bikeforums.net" is a REALLY LOUSY day!
