You know you're a cyclist when...

[Shut Up Legs]

If your driveway's always empty.

(well, mine is, anyway, as I've never had a driver's licence)

 

[Sillyoldman]

You finally perfect the amount of chamois cream needed for a one scoop only application so you don't have to double dip back into the tub.

 

[Kies]

You walk past every public bike racks and look for bike porn, in your lycra!

 

[uphillstruggler]

when it is sheeting down with rain in the evening and you say to yourself 'I would have played football in that and enjoyed it'

you go out on the bike and enjoy it more

 

[Linford]

When you open the curtains, look at the maserati and still think "bike" !

You have a Maserati ?

You swing a leg over it and go somewhere on it. The description is only really applicable when you are on it.
For instance, I cycle commuted today on my cycle, and am a cyclist today, yesterday, I took the motorcycle so was a motorcylist, tomorrow, I may take the car so will be a driver.
ATM I'm sat at a desk so am not a cyclist but an office worker...not a cyclist

All the 'but you're not a real cyclist' comments are just misleading tripe.

If I really want to pigeonhole, real cyclists ride because they enjoy it, not because they want to make some statement to their peers about their green credentials.

....you daren't write the word PUNCTURE on a forum. Instead you use a word full of ********s

 

[Idoru]

When you're full of a cold,coughing up half a lung every few minutes but still find yourself looking through the window at the wind and rain thinking "just a quick jaunt around the block to keep the legs loose...."

 

[Luddite Joe]

You find yourself reading a thread entitled "You know you're a cyclist when..."

 

[Dmcd33]

You have a bag full of spare bike parts/bits that other people wouldn't have clue what they were for and you become obsessed with how 'Tru' your wheels are!

 

[on the road]

When you have funny tan lines.

 

[ComedyPilot]

.....when you are never likely to kill someone when travelling through their community

 

[Kies]

You have a Maserati ?

A matchbox version and I leave it on my driveway

 

[Cycling Dan]

As I have now found driving a car and still avoiding potholes.
