You're a proper commuting cyclist when...

[jimboalee]

... 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!

That sounds familiar.

 

[HJ]

When you do a whole year with no concession to the weather, including ice, and arrive at work everyday with a big grin on your face...

When dressed in cycling clothes feels more normal than anything else

 

[alecstilleyedye]

when monday-friday you ALWAYS have cycling socks on.

 

[Bollo]

...you spend most of your work time on CC.

 

[palinurus]

When you have more cycling shirts than work shirts. By far.

 

[palinurus]

You get to work in the snow only to find the site has been closed and you're pleased you didn't call to check.

 

[palinurus]

You taunt your colleagues by having dessert in the staff canteen. Every day.

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

I hate that - I don't put my touring bike in the racks but put it in the corner held up on the propstand. Some sod has started just leaning his bike against the shed in my space. I can't put that bike in the racking because the mudguard gets in the way, and if I put the bike in between the racking it takes up two spaces so I don't like that.

... there's a constant reek of stale sweat coming off the cycling gear that's hanging over the desk partition and drying in the sun coming in the window.

 

[eldudino]

You constantly check which way the wind's blowing whilst sat at you desk and plan your route home accordingly.

 

[Brahan]

You feel smug for finally using the clean pants and socks that were stashed the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet during a rare moment of forethought.

 

[Brahan]

The smell of stale sweat means its time to enjoy some of your day.

 

[Brahan]

even on the Fridays (like today) when work finishes at 4:00 instead of 6:00 you still don't get home until 7:30
