Only a REAL cyclist would ...

[Banjo]

... commute home, covering 33.5km and 500+m climbing, when the temperature's about 40°C.

I guess you are used to it but that would kill me. (The heat not the climb)

... head out in sub-zero temperatures, high winds, and driving rain for a "fun" ride.

There's fewer on the roads when its like that. Especially when windy.

...... go out for a ride and come back to a crabby hubby & kids (who are all well over 20) bcos she forgot about breakfast

(either that or she's an OLD cyclist rather than a REAL one heheheheh )

be looking forward to riding into a headwind, as tail winds are for losers on Strava

Climb up the steepest roads when theres an easier route close by.

Only a REAL cyclist can cycle in hammering rain completely sopping wet through and when stopped at a set of lights turn to the family in the steamed up car next to them and give a cheery smile and a wave because they're absolutely LOVING IT!

 

[Justiffa]

….connects all the dots in her life and it always turns out the same - a bike lol

.... already be 40 miles from home and wonder if they have time to fit in an extra 20 before heading back.
