Why am I so competitive?

[Eagone]

In life I'm not usually the competitive one, I can't stand football, couldn't give me a toss about rugby or any other sport to be honest.

But cycling is becoming a different matter, doesn't matter whether its MTB or road (on my flat bar) I have to be the one to cycle the furthest (will never be the fastest), know all the current deals, know all the specs, have the latest equipment, get jealous if others are out an I'm not, forever reading these blogs - I just can't resist anything to do with this sport.

Think I need help - anyone know a psychologist who cycles?

Go join a club and start racing, get proper competitive

Or start audaxing if you like distance riding against the clock

oh no i wouldn't go to a psycologist that cycles, they might have cycled further than you! maybe rather than finding a pycologist local to you you could find one 500 miles away and cycle to them?

I think your problems are just cycle logical.

Thats the best reply yet!

Oh and if you've only got two bikes, you have a long way to go before becoming a proper obsessive enthusiast

Hard to say. If you always try to go the furthest, how do you shape up in this thread?

 

[Markymark]

I'm more competitive than you.
