You're a proper commuting cyclist when...

[Eat MY Dust]

When Bonj tells you so?

 

[The Eighth Man]

When a can of Lynx is your morning shower

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I have a rack to hang my clothes on that sits behind the PC - the hot air blasting out of there dries must thing by the time to go home.

When I worked in the milk processing room of a creamery a 25 mile ride away from my home, I used to drape my sweaty kit over the milk separators and cream pasteurisers to dry. If anyone ever got any butter that smelt a bit off, that may have been why.

when you are so famous at work for doing it, you can phone up the CEO and ask if you can have a locker

 

[buggi]

...you chose your next house so it's far enough away from work so you get a decent run in the morning.

or you agree to take a job in Hinckley rather than Solihull because its 22 miles away rather than 3 miles away

 

[buggi]

you happily cycle 22 hilly miles but once at work always call the lift rather than take the stairs because its too knackering to walk up them

When you put your bike before you in an accident and more worried about broken carbon forks than bones.. hey, if one leg works, you can still cycle!

been there, lying in the road, telling the paramedic of course i didn't have a broken collar bone coz its not sticking up is it (o so wrong!), and "where is my bike??!!! is it ok?, are you sure? let me see it?, bring it in the ambulance, pleaaassee let me up so i can check it...."

When you fall off your bike on the way home, damaging your helmet beyond repair and gashing your shoulder quite badly, the first thing you do is totter to the nearest bike shop, bleeding profusely, to buy a new helmet because you won't be able to get to work tomorrow otherwise.

 

[buggi]

when you shout "clear" to your mates as you cross the road on foot

 

[Rhythm Thief]

... or when you find yourself warning pedalestrians behind you of potholes or gravel in the road ahead. And they have no idea why you're waving your hand around behind you.

 

[buggi]

"Cobbles!"

 

[ultraviolet]

you injoy putting back on wet cycling shoes when leaving work for home

 

[Brahan]

you can eat and eat and eat and eat

Yes. Agreed.

I can eat a meal's worth of food by picking stuff here and there while cooking my meal.

 

[Sh4rkyBloke]

when you shout "clear" to your mates as you cross the road on foot

Nice one. I shall have to remember that one to confuse people.

You have Wiggle boxes around your desk at work; and you can eat the free sweets they drop in without feeling guilty.

P.S. My last Wiggle order arrived *without* the chewy sweets. Grr!

 

[Eat MY Dust]

When you're such a good customer at Wiggle you can email and ask them for an empty bike box for a bike you have just sold, and it shows up next day free of charge!

I also emailed them for some sweets and they arrived next day FOC as well.
