Everyday signs that you are "a cyclist"...

[Fnaar]

... your smile get wider the more prominent your otherwise ridiculous looking tan lines are.

Yes, I've put photos of my tanlines on Facebook before ... Some friends thought that a bit wierd...

Yes, I now have a separate wardrobe for my cycling gear

Every room in our house has something bike related, including a whole wall covered with a map showing cycling cafes / cake stops.
When out on my bike alone I sometimes forget and point out a pothole to the invisible person behind me.
I often say when at a race "did you see the thighs on that woman" to dr_pink, she knows I am working out what kind of wattage she could produce and for how long. Honestly.
Types of road surface are jolly interesting.

Tutting at 'wheelbender' cycle racks.
Itching to lube rusty chains on passing bikes.
Not knowing the make of one car from the next and not giving a monkeys either!

Looking at 'cyclists' on EXPENSIVE bikes, thinking 'what a bloody poser', and looking at 'cyclists' on cheaper bikes, thinking 'bloody chavs.'

I have a customer whose whole family are cyclists. I commented on the bike propped against the living room window one day and she showed me in. Hanging on the living room wall were four road bikes, in another corner was a set of rollers and there was also a static bike. The whole room had been turned into what was virtually a cycling showroom and the living quarters were in the slightly smaller dining room.

I was impressed, but when I got home and mentioned it to Mrs Smokin Joe I was met with a penetrating stare.

Hanging up a new mirror in the bedroom with a gear cable inner instead of picture wire.

Keeping and old SPD shoe in a kitchen drawer to use as a bottle opener.

Riding your bike alll winter.

When out running, I find myself in cycle lanes.
And I always do a life-saver check over my shoulder before turning.

I do lifesavers when walking before veering off course!

Trying to pick out differences between a cyclist and someone that rides a bike

getting annoyed at the claggy chain on ITV4 ads

I have caught myself doing a shoulder check walking around the school and do it all time when out walking.

The bloke who fixes our car turns up by bike and then just leaves it down the side of the house. He seems happy with that and has even left his bike overnight when he's had the car overnight, however I just can't do that to the bike (nice but his legs are way longer than mine so I can't ride it), so I bring it into the conservatory to keep it safe and dry!
