i know everyone has their own quirks when on the bike, (mine is unclipping my left foot at the top of a stroke before i stop, cant get it unclipped any other way!!) but what non cycling related quirks/habits do you have?

Me, well i always lifesaver check. wether im driving, cycling, horse riding or even walking i will do a quick shoulder check before changing direction. i also stack my coins from biggest to smallest, even if i only have 4-5 coins in my hand i will line them up biggest nearest my wrist, smallest nearer the fingers! dont know how or why i just do!

I'm 51, and I *still* avoid treading on the cracks in the pavement. (Not for fear of bears, I hasten to add.)

When travelling on trains, I prefer to sit facing the direction of travel.

When trimming my garden hedge, I do the inside first, then the top,then the outside. Not sure why, I just do.

When washing my car, I start at the top and work downwards doing the wheel rims last (means the soap remains as clean as possible)

When eating a fish finger meal I eat the greens and the chips first, and save the fish fingers til the end.

So glad I'm not alone in doing this, the coins can't go back in my pocket (yes yes I know) until they're sorted by size.

Me too.

I also sort my pound coins in to the order in which I will spend them, crappiest designs spent first.

Whenever I finish a bag of crisps, I tie a knot or two in the bag and then chuck it in the bin.
The knot gives the bag some density and gives a reasonably predictable trajectory to the projectile in question.

When travelling on trains, I prefer to sit facing the direction of travel.

Yet when I travel by train I prefer facing backwards towards travel.

I always try to pay the exact money; and if there is a choice, I use as many of my coins as I can.
Even if the people behind me start muttering, "Poor old soul. It's a shame, isn't it?"
