A matchbox version and I leave it on my driveway

My daughter of step bought me one of those for xmas a couple of years ago. Tight mare, could have been a full size one

When a mate tells you he bonked last night and gives you a funny look when you ask him what bike has he got

When you fill you bike pack with house bricks just to make the hills tougher................

 

[ShipHill]

When you're stood at the clock-card machine at work waiting for the clock to hit 5pm and all your jovial work colleagues insist on making hilarious comments about your footwear, legwear, jacket, helmet, rucksack or anything else... and they insist on making the same remarks every day for years on end.

When looking at a pretty girls bike is more important than her :whistle

An engineering student on campus met another one pushing a brand new bike. Where did you get that? he asked.

The other one explained: Yesterday, this beautiful girl cycled up to me on it, threw it down, ripped off all her clothes, and said "take whatever you want from me!"

Good call, said the first, her clothes probably wouldn't have fitted you anyway.

Is that visit, drive up, cycle up or just visit and dream of cycling up like me

When you partner says they might go away without you for a week, and you start plotting a Brompton ride round Provence.
Well, the Brommie is the easiest bike to get on Eurostar and a TGV...

When you're male and it no longer bothers you when your friends laugh at the fact you wear cycling tights.

 

[Shut Up Legs]

... when all the door handles (and surrounds) in your house keep showing grease stains (because somehow the stuff just keeps following you around);

... when every purchase is carefully calculated to leave as little coin weight remaining in your wallet as possible (because weight = calories expended);

... when your major concern with Melbourne's AFL Grand Final (parade is today, final is tomorrow) is "how the hell am I going to ride past all those pedestrians?".

Oh heck......I am definitely not a cyclist yet then. Bloomin detest cycling into the wind.
