You're a proper commuting cyclist when...

[GrasB]

When you drive into work with the car you've owned for almost 2 years & people start asking who's got the new flash car (yearless reg)

 

[HonestMan1910]

When you sleep-in in the morning and drive to work and spend your lunch hour driving home to cycle back in later !

Either that or it is a really nice day and you just don't want to miss out.

B)

 

[fossyant]

When you are knackered.....and still take the long route home.

When you are driving, and end up driving round pot holes.

 

[jonny jeez]

When you stop yourself (within nano-seconds) from spraying teflon lube under your arms cos its in the same bag as your deodorant!

me at 8.15 yesterday

 

[jonny jeez]

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

Or be really "halfway" brave and ask him.."are you Bent?"

 

[Sore Thumb]

You get vouchers to buy bike kit in your leaving card as I did today.

Then they lock you bike up in the toilet.

 

[kevin_cambs_uk]

when you have shaving foam in your ear while your sat at your desk !

 

[smeg]

... when your nickname is Lance

I've had that as well "Oh look it's Lance Armstrong!" whilst walking down the stairs in my cycling gear.

 

[kevin_cambs_uk]

I have a cycling jersey with Eddy Mercx on it some where, once was over taken and the cheeky sods said "christ Mercx has put some weght on" !

 

[smeg]

...when your work colleagues tell you that you're mad, and you've cycled in all the way from -----!?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I've had that as well "Oh look it's Lance Armstrong!" whilst walking down the stairs in my cycling gear.

I did hear someone say 'he's no Miguel Indurain' once as I manfully struggled up a hill late one night years ago - I was pretty pissed at the time mind!!

 

[CharlieB]

…when your SPD cleats have worn a groove in the carpet all the way from the front door to your desk…

 

[fossyant]

The kids say.............

"You have more bike shoes, than 'normal shoes'................ doh....."

Got me.. and one pair of my bike shoes are worth more than all my 'civvy' stuff...... do I care...nope !

Committed............lock me up !......

 

[ComedyPilot]

you get a rush of endorphines (from the commute exercise) whilst sat at your desk, and it takes till 11:30 for them to wear off.

 

[Trumpettom001]

you realise you have a puncture, and would rather use gaffer tape as a get-me-to-work, than cycle home, and get a spare tube
