When having non biking friends over for dinner/party, must.......resist.......temptation......to ......take....them.....to...see the bikes and the bike shop in the basement.
to avoid these questions

Another two entries for riding too much
Your number has turned into a cycling help line. Be it my friends or family with maintenance questions, or they gave my number to a coworker looking at getting into the sport.
You get a massage. When you go to pay, the money is turned down, so that you can fix her bike.

When you're driving in your car and you speed up to look at the bikes on top of the car ahead of you. (Did that today!)

Wow, you and I are quite alike. This happens a lot with my girlfriend. She's talking about the renovations in her building or something, and I'm wondering whether I want an 11-23 cassette or a 12-25.

During a job interview, you ask the interviewer about the company's facilities for commuting by bike (showers, storage space, etc).
You don't know who won the NBA Championships last year, but you can name the winners of the Tour de France for the last 20+ years.
You make the mistake of telling your girlfriend of a dream you had about bikes, only to be enlightened that she wants you to be dreaming of her.
The local bike shops know you the same way the bartenders at Cheers know Norm.

when you buy tons of bike components, then realize you need cash to pay the rent...then realize you can try to live off the styrofoam shipping peanuts the parts come in for at least a few days.....
