You know you're a cyclist when...

[Dmcd33]

When you get a great sense of satisfaction at "tweaking" and "cleaning" your Bike. Especially on that first ride out in the morning to work when the gears are smooth and everything is doing what it should (no creaks, cleats clip in nicely!)

When you check the weather forecast for tomorrow, you only notice the wind speed and direction.

Used to do a regular ride home from work of some distance (once every week or two). Living South West from work, last thing we wanted was to be battling the wind all the way. Hence checking the weather forecast to pick a suitable day would be based more on wind direction than rain.

You know you're a cyclist when you actually go out on your bike and post in "your ride today".......

I check for wind speed and direction (including gusts), so when I head for home/work I know how long it will roughly take me, and so I can prepare myself for spinning into the headwinds, which seemed to be most of this past winter..!

Actually, I pay no attention to wind speed and direction when checking the weather forecast before any ride. All I care about is how much rain there will be, so I can decide if shoe covers and mudguards are warranted or not. Apart from that, the weather is irrelevant to my rides (or at least the commuting ones).

I had one of my wisdom teeth taken out this week, and my first thought as the dentist showed me my sorry looking tooth, was 'I wonder how much of a weight saving that is?'

Sad, but true.

When you get told a jumped up torch is £140 and you don't immediately think how f@#*ing much.

When your Dad asks you what you want for Christmas and you answer, " nothing really, Ive got all I need for my bike"

When you see the Black Friday Sale at your LBS as the main holiday of the year. (I have a ticket to get in at 8 a.m.).

Certain parts of your anatomy is larger than typical motorists. Such as your legs.

When you enjoy intervals on the turbo when you can only just stop yourself from throwing up, close one tonight I must admit.
