I like driving my hybrid Honda CR-Z in sport mode.

I choked on 600 dollars to buy my first bike last week but easily spent 6000 on my latest sewing machine a couple of months ago.

I figure if I can get my DH to ride with me on weekends, he'll buy the 1400 dollar bike he was looking at and I can ride it during the week.

After reading the posts, I feel so much better knowing you men are admiring me from behind. Too bad I'm the only one with a bike out where I live, but if I head to a trail, I won't be so worried.

When I go into the blu-ray section of a store, I know exactly what my DH wants and already has (you try keeping track of 1500 movies and documentaries) I figure if he doesn't have it, it's either in the mail or he doesn't want it.

Pics or it didn't happen :-o

We know.

Even with the tanned and toned physique, the lycra and the fancy carbon bike, I'm really not that fast.

I bought my bike on sale.

Yeah, I'm trying to find the problem here.

One day you'll wake up and find it.

I rode in some rain yesterday and hit every puddle I could, hoping that it would ruin my current shoes so I would have an excuse to buy new ones.

What's wrong with that? Thought that was standard operating procedure... at least it's what I do. Not because I'd buy anything different if she knew, but because I don't dig the hassle and it's just easier that way.

I also told her my new-to-me-but-used bike was $40 instead of $75... because whyTF not?

I don't lie to my wife; not even about cycling-related purchases.

LOL I'm divorced... never feel the need to lie about anything any more... and and AND I can actually be used for sex. Wow, at first I typo'ed "sued for sex" how Freudian...

Strange though ... lying about 35 bucks ... that's not lying to conseal the truth anymore but just lying for the fun of it, right?

I can't think of a thing to say

ok yeah, pretty much... or staying in practice? Really not sure why on that one, maybe it was force of habit regarding bike-related expenses...

I don't lie to her about important stuff though...

Are you implying that bikes are not important?

Not even for a second! My apologies for the poor choice of wording.

I should have said "about large expenses" or something more to that effect.

Cheers

So you are saying that $3000 bikes aren't "large expenses"? ^^

-When I commute to work, I wear my lycra around the office until I get a break in meetings to go shower - I think I look cool.
-I love passing anyone and everyone, regardless of what kind of bike they have/what kind of rider they are.
-When I'm out riding in street clothes, I try and beat anyone wearing full kit, just because.
-I poop at work at least 2-3 times a day. I take my time.
-I didn't NEED a new edge 800, but wanted to be able to show off my routes (and secretly compare them to people I know who are better than me in hopes of beating them).
-I feel like a total ******* telling being what I do for a living because I feel like I'm showing off. I just say I work at a tech company. Really not sure why, I just do.
-I like the smell of my piercings (only other people with piercings will know what I'm talking about - especially those with gauged ears)
-I tell me parents I spend a lot less on bike stuff than I actually do. I'm 25 and financially independent - no clue why I feel the need to do this.

I am not too far off, either... I ride on it maybe once a month, and use it as a bike stand daily.

I have valve caps and nuts on my prestas.

A very good policy. The truth always comes out.

Fixed

When grinding slowly up a hill, I will intentionally run over a millipede, because I like the "crunch" sound they make. It's the "crunch" sound that does it for me. I would never roll over a worm. That would be wrong.

Hahaha .. this thread has moved on to the next level

Aint it great when the news is better than expected, eh?

And yeah, crunchy millipedes definitely equals the next level!

Haha, I wish!! Not for some perhaps, but for me they still are!

Cheers
