and don't check yourself until you're sure the bike is alright.
When you look at cycling routes around a potential new location to move to.
When you consider your next vehicle purchase by it's bike carrying potential.
When you seriously wonder if a bike purchase can be paid for by your health insurance and
actually spend time trying to find just the right wording to convince your insurance rep.
You instinctually race up to a vehicle on the highway to see what bike(s) is(are) on it's rack.
The first thing you think of when some extra cash comes into your possession is more bike stuff.
Your vehicle needs brakes and you struggle with spending $100. for the job,
but have no qualms about spending twice that on your bike's brakes.
You don't let your significant other wash your cycling gear.
When an opening in traffic equals an opportunity for you to launch an "attack".
Man, these three hit home. I retire from the Marines next year and am considering moving to Ft. Worth...but damn is it going to be hard leaving San Diego only because of the great riding. I also plan to get a new car as a retirement gift to myself. Was thinking a nice Mustang, but not sure my bike rack woud fit over the spoiler. And anytime I get some extra cash I am thinking about a new jersey, or a new stem, new brakes, new tape...its pitiful.
