You're a proper commuting cyclist when...

[garrilla]

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!

You want to complain about the sweets my friend, I just got new pedals delivered and I got my haribou!

Your asked respeatedly by everybody and the dog - 'not on the bike today' - if you get to work without a bike.

Can you imagine saying that to car drivers !

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

TIP: Never try driving with SPDs in your shoes. Only turning the car around in my road, but I couldn't bring the clutch up without stalling because the SPD got caught

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

dumdeedumm deed um

Go checking your bike at lunchtime for slow punctures...

...or to make sure it's still there.

also, when you're hungry all day!

When a colleague tells you how much mileage they put on their car last year and you've done more on the bike.

 

[HJ]

When you arrive at a training course and find that you were the only on who had cycled in. It was wonderful to see how embarrass the others looked when they had to admit to driving in, it was a cycling instructors training course...

Your asked respeatedly by everybody and the dog - 'not on the bike today' - if you get to work without a bike.

I get this one quite often, particularly if the weather is bad, then there's always the look of disbelieve when I tell them I have cycled in.

 

[fossyant]

Your garage is now full of bikes...we once had a car in there !!!!

 

[buggi]

your work colleagues tell you your slacking when you haven't cycled for 2 days.

 

[fossyant]

Even better.....

You joyfully email all your ex. colleagues that you cycled in the horrendous wind....

It took them hours, me...a couple of minutes longer......

Believe you me the comments were like 'superman fossy' etc..... they nearly fell off their chairs...ha..ha...

Unfortunately, where I work now, that is my norm.....only if icy can I maybe get away with it....one or two of the slower folk manage it though.........

 

[Two mile commute]

When you look forward to the nights drawing in so you can use your new bike lights.

 

[Angelfishsolo]

I think that is true for any cyclist .

When you look forward to the nights drawing in so you can use your new bike lights.

Im a proper commuting cyclist as im just about ready to leave for today's commute.

P.S This morning's return at 2am was all blood and thunder.

 

[HLaB]

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

Our Admin staff have posed that question why when I cycle to work and look fit, do I take the lift?

 

[dudi]

you're a proper commuting cyclist when:
- You keep your water bottle on your desk constantly sipping water instead of gulping coffee...
- You have your own bathroom in the morning that people know not to use until they've seen proof that you're fully dressed.

Your a proper cyclist when your legs ache from a previous commute.Commute 6.
