obsessed...I mean, when somebody asks how many bikes I have, I have to think about it!

The local off-road bike club's forum calls their commuter section "Commie Forum"

I like it.

I've referred to by road bike with a rack as my "Commie bike" before. It got me some strange looks.

Cyclocommuter has a nice ring to it. So does my bell.

I like cyclommuter. Sounds like psychommuter.

No, I'm not a Mormon.
Nor have I gotten a DUI.
And I'm not drunk right now, (and yes, I understand I can still get a DUI for bicycling while under the influence.)
I'm just a biker.

You have nothing to lose except your chains! Well, and your forks, tyres, wheels, seats, fenders, pedals, etc....

For a while I tried to explain that I enjoyed riding my bike, but most people didn't get it. Now I just say I got a DUI. It's much easier, and while it's not true and I get some funny looks, they stop asking. The conversation usually goes something like this.

"Why do you ride your bike to work?"
"I got a DUI."
"Oh..."

Then I ride away giggling as I watch my reputation fall into shambles. Good thing I don't need a reputation any more.

The other one I like to tell people is that a large gang of Latvian children car jacked me at sharpened candy cane point and insurance didn't pick up the tab, so now I'm stuck on this beautiful machine that saves me money, and makes my legs look like a sculpture from the middle ages carved them from marble. This is the one I tell to pretty girls. Then I offer to let them touch the hem of my jersey.

Our local newspaper referred to the group 0f bike commuters who organized Bike to Work week in our community as the Spandex Mafia.

"You ride your bike to work?"

"Well, I've got to get there somehow."

The nutter who rides his bike to work when he can drive.

It's not so bad.
Unless of course you get into an argument and start hitting yourself.....
