I like Lance.
I read Bicycling Magazine.
I spend too much time on BF.
I spend too much time combing over CL ads for bikes that I'll never buy.

I don't love my CX bike anymore, but I'm afraid to tell it.

I suggest starting with something like, "It's not you it's me. i just can't take the dismounts or the heckling anymore."

Me and biking is the same as a golfer with a $4000 set of clubs that shoots 102.

I got back into cycling after the second time I lost my drivers license.
I'm too poor for this sport.

Cycling has changed my life completely. Although I think 95% of the weight I lost came from my wallet...

i spend way more on bikes and bike gadgets than can be justified by my paltry abilities and meager wattage.
And I actually *know* I have too many bikes.

Let me add that even though I have a very nice bike (which was nice before I "upgraded" it), I will always want a "better" bike. But I have no business being on any bike "better" than mine. I will probably look foolish on one anyway. Also add scouring eBay for things that I will never buy.

Definitely +1 to being too fat for this sport and for shopping for stuff I'll never buy on CL and eBay

When I was 12, I started stealing my mom's Victoria's Secret catalogs to... oh, wrong type of confession.
When I shop for helmets, I put them on and assume an aero tuck in front of a mirror to see how it looks on me.

Our chamois cream smells like thin mints so I confess that I occasssionally sniff it as well....but usually on others.
...I've said too much.

Either way works but I prefer directly to the chamois. Seems a little more hygenic in my little mind.

DEFINITELY THIS!!!
I am beginning to hate riding solo all of the time.
I know way too little about wheels
I am slower than I would like to be ( really DO care about this, even when I say I don't)
I HATE hills.
I wish my girlfriend rode.
I do not like riding in inclement weather (all of you HTFU types....I hate you)
I envy anyone who lives in warm weather climates.
Cheers,
Brian J.
