You cant remember the last time your legs didnt look like ground beef from all the cuts and scratchs on them..

It's hard to find a shirt that isn't stained with MUD SPLATTER!! Brown is my color. Some women pay big $$ to have spa mud treatment. I prefer to get my mud right from the trail

Reach for the brake levers on a scooter (not motorized, the simple ones or whatever). Happened to me. Long story short, in less than half a minute I had reached a sickening speed and once I realised I HAD no brake levers, I remember I had no brake anyway, it broke off. xD

...you rip the passenger and back seats out of your car so you can keep your bike, parts and tools in there--at all times, so it's ready to go. Well, the wheelset's in the trunk, actually and, yes, my car is a POS.

When driving your car up the road you check your line to see if there might be a more effiecent way up the hill. When going downhill you push yourself back in your seat and tell yourself to lay off the brakes.

You mt. bike too much if...
-you've gotten used a little dirt with your water.
-on the way home from a ride you stop at the car wash. Then spray down the bike and yourself.
-when looking for a vehicle, you pick the truck with rubber, not carpet.
-The floorboard of your truck is a mix of dirt, gu packets, and twigs.

You treat the SuperGo or Performance catalog like porn. 'Scuse me, I'll be in the bathroom.

Did I give you a ride in my truck recently - you described it pretty accurately...
My husband teases me that I wash my bike more than my truck...washing the truck is a MAN's job!!
I have a dirt shirt from Sedona AZ. However, we have brown mud here, not red, so my mud doesn't match their mud!

When you wake up after jumping off your bike and the position youre in is your legs wide and your right hand outstretched to grab the bike's seat.

I try so hard not to do that, but it always happens. It's all I know.

Coffee's brewing, I slug down a cup, fill the Camelback . Bike's still on the Yak Rack. Volvo is ready to head out .We go!! I'm riding again..oops!! I forgot..It's Monday..yikes it's a workday. Quick grab some workclothes out of the gym bag. get to work..you have 10 minutes!Must be mountainbiking too much! Moab is small..only 2 stopl;ights to go. Whew, I made it with a minute to spare. lunchreak..I ride!
