I know that I'm a cyclist when I'm on my bike. The rest of time I'm not a bore.

.... that's a completely different conversation Vern.

 

[Kookas]

When you instantly recognise the sound of a freewheel, over the sound of buses and cars, from your 2nd floor bedroom window, on the other side of the road...

When you are mentally plotting tomorrow's ride......................without having finished today's ride!

...when non cycling colleagues talk to you about the TDF they saw last night on TV because as a cyclist, you MUST know all about it. My response - I didn't watch it... I was out on my bike.

Managed to get this every day we were there

1 Your feeling of excitement* when riding an unknown route and you stumble upon a significant hill.
* substitute with another appropriate word if you wish

2 You are nearly home and you consider whether you have enough time to squeeze in another 5/10/20 miles

3 That tinge of disappointment when you cut short your planned route to get home earlier.
