"Are you a serious cyclist"

[damj]

Says the new lady at work on opposite desk. Thinks for a second... I commute two or three days a week, I have long ride at the weekend.. I'm a bit obsessed with buying or looking at gear, wandering around the three shops in town, always on wiggle,Evans,ebay, etal looking at bike stuff, checking out new routes......"yes" I confidently say. She says "oh my husbands well into it, he cycled to Paris last week" (from Durham) I'm backtracking now.. A little embarrassed.. Is it all in head? What makes a serious cyclist or vice versa.

No need to be embarrassed. If you have an above average interest, passion and enthusiasm for bikes and cycling, then that's enough, IMO, to claim that you're a 'serious cyclist.'

Bonj was and is, as far as I know the only serious cyclist.

A serious cyclist is one who does not smile. Is probably emaciated. Wears black a lot and probably has a black bike.

Like the chaps who flood Crystal Palace.

I'm not even a cyclist let alone a serious one.

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

I'm a frivolous cyclist.

 

[e-rider]

[Markymark]

I'm serious. You lot are amateurs.

 

[Bollo]

I often ride by the light of the Dog Star. I'm a Sirius cyclist.

(Parties, receptions, barmiztvahs)

 

[Markymark]

I'm so serious I think I won the commute today...again.

I wish you lot would give me some sort of competition.

No. Proper cyclists always nod hello.
