A quiet road turns into the M25 at rush hour as soon as you stop for a comfort break

The banana in your jersey pocket becoming so mashed that you could make banana cake with it

Scrubbing your legs in the shower post-ride until they're red raw in a vain attempt to get the oil tattoo off your right calf.

Always spinning or grinding never a happy medium

Your helmet strap being so tight you are being strangled the whole ride

Jersey swaying more than a wind sock on a windy day because you've got your phone in the left pocket and a empty wrapper in the right pocket

Never noticing the drain until too late

Waving enthusiastically only to be rewarded with a stare more cold than that of Stalin himself

Being constantly nagged to join the fast club ride

Carrying a heavy allen key, the size needed to tighten the cranks for months. Then deciding to lighten the load and leave it at home. The next time out the cranks become loose!
