You know you're a cyclist when...

[RWright]

When you sell all your motor vehicles.

If there were some sort of reasonable backup form of transportation here besides taxis (and in my town, taxis being reliable is debatable) I would do it I think. I just can't quite make myself do it. Things are just a little too spread out.

When you are sat on the sofa wearing cycle gear under dog-walking gear (back from a dry dog walk), drinking coffee, listening to the rain that's now hammering down and deciding that I'll need a shower when I get back anyway so why not go for a quick half hour spin around the block as I won't shrink will I?

When you get back from your ride, sort your syncing out for said ride details, make a cup of tea, sit down and log onto CC and 2 hours later you still haven't had a shower !

Edit - Upload your photos ready for "Your ride today" post

 

[Stonechat]

Stop outside uploading your ride. Come straight inside to the computer to look at the stats of the ride before doing anything else
EDIT - evenn before coffee or anything else

When you visit bike shops selling very expensive bikes,(like the ones i saw yesterday...3 and a half grand),and you take photos on your phone of those bikes. Then sit at home looking at them again and again.
