You're a proper commuting cyclist when...

[nilling]

You have all your cycling kit on a coat hanger hanging out of the office window

 

[Cubist]

When you make one concessionary trip in the car at the beginning of the week (or even on a weekend) to take five uniform shirts and five pairs of clean boxers, then cycle home on a Friday evening with five coathangers sticking out of your rucksack

You're a proper commuting cyclist when

You hav'nt owned a car for years

 

[DrMekon]

When you do have to use the car, it's touch and go whether the battery will have held enough charge.

When you take the bakfiets if a colleague needs to be taken to the station.

 

[iacula]

When you have to use the tatty towel somebody years ago left in the shower room, because you've forgotton yours.

 

[eldudino]

When there is no shower at work but you cycle anyway, using a combination of baby wipes, a towel, soap and water, hand towels etc.... basically anything to get you smelling vaguely human again.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

When you have no idea how much fuel costs but do know which shop sells the cheapest bananas.

 

[Landslide]

When you can't give directions to motorists because your routes always make use of cut-throughs that are only accessible to bikes.

 

[sunnyjim]

When you carpet the hallway of your house with artificial grass.

 

[jimboalee]

When you have no idea how much fuel costs but do know which shop sells the cheapest bananas.

Best yet by far.

No contest - I conceed.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

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

 

[c2c]

when your missus says....." summats not right in this kitchen"..... cos you have actually put your bike in the shed for once.

 

[jimboalee]

when your missus says....." summats not right in this kitchen"..... cos you have actually put your bike in the shed for once.

When your missus says..."You create me more washing than both your sons!! Why can't you go in the car for once...." and two years later,,,, your divorced.

 

[Downward]

Wash most of your bike clothes at work.

Use your Bike as a Clothes Horse.

Have numerous places where you keep a spare pair of work and cycle clothes.

Have more socks at work than at home.

 

[the reluctant cyclist]

... you get really unreasonably annoyed if some imposter fair weather cyclist nicks your space in the bike racks....

.... especially if they then go and padlock their new snazzy lock to the rack and are not seen again until the next time it's sunny!
