You're a proper commuting cyclist when...

[jonny jeez]

When you rear end a car, whilst looking in the window of a "new" cycle shop that has appeared on the high street.

Opps!! I pressed send instead of cancel.

When you work as a Mountain guide on Mt. Ventoux.

When you see a gorgeous girl on a bike and you think 'hmm lovely Reynolds steel frame'

When a gorgeous guy in a very expensive car winks at you, instead of melting and giggling you snarl 'Get out of the f***ing cycle lane you t**t!

Are you that middle-aged bloke with shortish hair I saw cycling into Bayswater Road from Kensington Park on a recumbent on a sunny Saturday pm in August?

I was thinking about saying hello but

"Are you Bent Mikey?"

didn't sound like a solid opening line to a stranger.

It's possible, that's off my usual route, but I do go that way sometimes. Can you remember the date?

 

[BentMikey]

p.s. was it this bike?

When people have (finally) stopped asking how come you can eat all day and not put on a pound.

Defo not me, Fridays and Mondays are my days off. There are quite a few recumbent riders in the park, it might have been Tiger:

Next time you could always take the halfway step and ask if the cyclist is Mikey?

When you get in the car and wonder why your SPDs aren't clipping in to the accelerator...

Very funny

You're a proper Cyclist when...you have to drive and find the seat too low.

I am amazed how many of the quotes relate to my daily routine,made me chuckle.
Here's mine...when you work for a Porsche dealer but take more note of the cyclists riding past the window than the latest model in the showroom !!!
Just taken over the disabled bogs at work for my changing room because it is the least used one and there is of course more room to swing your pants ! I am also lucky enough to be able to hang all my kit and park the bike in the parts department i work in with no worry of getting the floor dirty when it gets grim out there.
