dreams of cars on bike paths, then you wake up, tell yourself your an idiot, and hop on you bike for your morning commute.

When you try to move your foot from the gas pedal to the brake pedal you twist your foot in order to move it.

When you try and shift gears by clicking various levers in your car...

When you attempt to slow your car by applying backpressure to the floor mat.

When going around corners in your car you raise your inboard foot to keep from banging your clutch or accelerator on the ground.

Six-Shooter

When you try to pedal the accelerator and brake in your car I'm a newbie, and already driving a car feels strange now--and a lot less fun that cycling!

You walk with less stride so that you can keep up your cadence.

You find it funny that your coworker has named her child after a famous bike racer ... Sammy Sanchez. I'm surprised she's even heard of him ... wow!

calories don't matter, and

For me...

6b. Your legs are smoother than your girlfriends.

and you spend 2x the money on cycling attire then work clothes (if you do not count all the gear I carry around)...

When walking you look up and left to see what's behind you...just like when using your cycling rear view mirror.

You don't have pictures of you family on the wall. They get in the way of pictures of your bikes.

You know it's .8 miles to Steve's house, 1.2 to Debra's, 6.2 to the bike shop, etc.

You never drive your car over anything that would damage a 700c 23mm tire.

When driving the car, at the bottom of a hill you start making plans on how to get up the hill. You think you might tired at the top if you go too fast, so you slow to a more comfortable pace.

You start driving the car at the speed you ride your bike at. (really)

The car has to stay outside, the garage is full of bikes. After all, it's just a car!

It's ok to get salt on the car and leave it dirty, but not a BIKE!~

The Christmas tree is a pain........it makes it hard to set up the bike stand in the living room.

You automatically stand up or go around bumps and potholes in the dark without even seeing them. You know where they are.

You visit friends farther away, because it's a better ride.

Four hour run time is not long enough for your light any more.

Doing this becomes so easy you don't have to think about it.

You don't understand why your friends don't want to talk about rolling resistance, aerodynamics, or wattage?

You buy your house based on the garage, the door into the cellar and if you can get a bike in there.

Your choice in a new pair of boots is influenced by how stiff the sole is, and how the leather looks at the 'flex points'

You take your messenger bag with you when buying a new jacket, so you'll know how it feels and how far back the sleeves go when you stretch out.

You think spending the first hours of your birthday riding on a frozen lake is perfect, even though your buddy's beer freezes while he is drinking it when you take a break.

2manybikes

I thought this was normal?

Fugazi Dave

You can't walk without tripping, but you can execute perfectly-timed skids in heavy traffic without blinking.

You amortize the cost of your new bike entirely in train, bus, and cab fares that you didn't need in the span of two months.

Any mention of taxis elicits an internal reaction similar to the words, "the enemy."

You've ever bloodied your knuckles punching a car that got too close.

You begin making your own jewelry that contains old chain links, bike parts, etc.

I'm wearing a track chain around my neck...

The only way you know how to get from one end of town to another doesn't include freeways.
