Does being a commuting cyclist make you a tight git?

Funny how all the Yorkshire folk appear when you talk about being a tight wad

Many say we're like the Scots, only with words. We use very few(words spoken) in speech. So you might want to listen when we do speak!

I don't think cycling makes you more tight (I couldn't have got any tighter ), it just makes you more aware of the alternatives and you make more financially beneficial decisions.

If I don't get the bike serviced as much as I should it isn't down to being a tightwad,it's due to the fact that I don't want it parked in someones bike shop for a few days,leaving me bereft of it's services.
