jealous :(
 

As I drive to work or go on lunch breaks I see cyclist on the roads all the time. I dont know their work schedule but I am pretty jealous that I cant be riding with them :(

Anyone else get bitter when they are at work and they see other cyclist on their commute ?

Not jealous or bitter. A little envious and wistful.

I think you are actually envious, not jealous, but anyway: I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say "bitter", but whenever I see a cyclist and I'm in my car, I frequently get a twinge, wishing I was out there too.

EDIT: cc_rider beat me to the grammar lesson :D

I meant envious but didn't think of it...I was still envious when I got into the office :(

The worst is when I work on Saturdays and I see a whole group of cyclist...I am ready to cry :mad:

My wife actually gets pretty annoyed with me. On the weekends when we are running mundane errands that I somehow didn't find a way to get out of, we will pass a cyclist or cyclists and I always whimper like a little puppy.

hahahahhahaha...

If conditions allow, perhaps you, too, can become a bike commuter.

Yup...I did it and you...well the OP...can too. Rack, panniers, fenders and some good lights of the low light late fall and winter months. I will ride in just about any condition other than icy roads.

Mine too. What annoys her the most is that I can hear a spinning freewheel from about five blocks away, and I always look up.

She bikes now too, though, and as we pass cyclists on our way to do errands she's pointing out all the bikes. "Honey, look! That girl's on a Cervelo. That guys on a Felt. A Waterford, those are custom, right? Hey, that guy's got an S-Works. After paying all that money for an S-Works you'd think he'd be moving a little faster."

It's great.

I really don't need to see another cyclist in order to wish I was riding. What frustrates me is to see the monsoon rain clouds building up as the work day comes to a close.

My wife rides as well, but her true love is running...marathons and such. So when it comes down to a choice of time on the bike or time in her running shoes, the biking normally loses out for her. I keep trying to convince her that her knees are sure to explode when she gets older, but the threat falls on deaf ears.

As for cyclist spotting, the best was last weekend as we pulled up to a stoplight and I was staring at a pretty attractive woman on a pretty sweet Orbea stopped at the same light. My wife caught me looking, but she knew all along that I was admiring the bike and its hourglass tubes, not the rider and her hourglass figure...and the thing is, she was right!

Nah I cant...My work schedule does not permit me to do so. I work 7-5, school 5-10. I can barely make it there while driving lol.

I see people at 11:00 riding through the streets, thats when it really hurts :(

Forget the roads, I'm jealous of all the people here on BF who are able to ride daily or do hundreds of miles per week. I consider myself lucky to get in one 50-mile ride per week.

:roflmao:

I've done that too. And she knew exactly what I was staring at... the beautiful carbon fiber bike. Wives are smarter than we are.

My wife's sport was soccer before 9 knee dislocations and a torn ACL. Knees are good things.

I live at the base of the mountain I ride. I go out for a coffee and I see all these lucky people in the sun/rain riding the trails I love. You bet your ass I am jealous. Damn concrete office....

Go riding anyway! Riding in the rain has got to be the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

And no, I haven't tried it with my clothes off.
