You know you're cyclist when
This is just for fun. You know you're a cyclist when? The most expensive clothes you own are your bike jerseys and shorts.

Giving someone directions to a local restaurant and they include cutting thru a couple of parking lots and carrying the bike over a set of railroad tracks at a closed crossing

You wake up early on Saturday or Sunday (or your day off) morning, look over at your significant other and think, if I stay in bed maybe we can fool around when he/she wakes up. Or, if I get up quietly, and out right away, I can definitely go for a ride for a couple of hours. The bicycle beckons, the SO slumbers, and you ever-so-slowly slip out the door to your able and willing two-wheeled partner, always ready to show you a good time.
THAT, my friends, is a cyclist!

This guy is a gung-ho rider. Every Saturday morning he meets his buddies at the shop for an 50 mile hammerfest. Rain, shine, illness, whatever, he goes every Saturday morning. Except one time he opens the garage door and it's thunder and lightning and hail and wind. So for once he bails on the ride. He goes back upstairs, takes off his clothes, and climbs back into bed. He snuggles up to his wife and whispers in her ear "The weather is absolutely brutal out there..."
She says, "Can you believe my stupid husband is out riding his bike in that?"

When you come to a red light in your car you start to squeeze the steering wheel to stop.

When you are in your car on a beautiful scenic highway that winds......and when you come up to that sharp turn you lean a little bit and tilt your head slightly, looking for the cracks and rocks in the road.

When driving (yes, even the car-free among us do it sometimes), you come to the sweet downhill with a glorious view of the ocean and feel so, so sad that you are on four wheels not two.
And if some roadie is on that sweet downhill, you almost cry.

When the analogies you use to make a point in conversation refer to things you read on BF or to experiences you had on your bike.

You can't figure out how to dress for work unless your clothes are rolled, stuffed and wrinkled into your panniers.

You have more charity ride tshirts than regular ones.
You dog runs for the backyard when you start pumping up the tires on your road bike.
Your reading this thread.
Your wife admits to a friend that you get more irritable from a lack of riding.
You already have a tricycle picked out for you unborn child.

You're driving your car and you use hand signals when changing lanes, making turns,
and coming to a complete stop.
and coming to a complete stop.

When driving or walking, you keep glancing up and to the left to check your visor mirror.

You endure yet another forum thread entitled: You know you are a cyclist when....
