You notice a pair of shoes under the desk belonging to a professor interviewing you and ask him (at the end) if he rides.
You get into a conversation about bikes with different professor (who is also supposed to be interviewing you...)
. . . if the only thing you miss about a vile job that you quit is the hills on the commute there (and the paycheck, of course).
Owlie - that's a Good Sign. You connected! Three cheers for having something in common with the person who is interviewing you.
When all that's lying around your house are bicycling mags, water bottles, cycling clothes hanging out to dry and Versus shows T-Vo'd.
When your birthday cards have bicycles on them with gift cards to the local bike shop IN them.
When you stare at oncoming pelotons with reckless abandon.
That giddy feeling when you get a nod from a super cyclist on the trail.
you're walking at snail's pace with your toddler, but wearing a very nice Gore padded cycling jacket, and get completely checked out by a very attractive man on a bike.
You justify getting an IPhone because it has a cool cycle app.
When your birthday cards have bicycles on them with gift cards to the local bike shop IN them.
My DH is amazed that I have nearly always found birthday/valentines/anniversary cards with bicycles and/or bicyclists on them! I am always on the lookout for them and it gives me such a thrill when I find one for him. :p
I resemble that statement. In fact that is exactly what I do each time I get my oil changed. My favorite was when it was a 18.5 mile ride to the dealer. I would have kept doing it, but the Saturn dealer shut down. :-(Quote:

You might be a cyclist if you hand signal when walking. I caught myself about to do this yesterday.
This. :DQuote:

Your SO, after dating for 3 years, is completely shocked to realize that he has never introduced you to his LBS, and plans to take steps to remedy this next time you visit.
And another one:
You tell your SO that if he wants to get you anything made of inorganic carbon, it should have wheels and Ultegra components.:D They cost about the same...
(Cue jokes about a velvet-covered bike box...)
There ya go ... your bike should be worth two months' salary ...
You possibly might be a cyclist if....:
You are counting down the months until your infant is a year old and old enough to ride in a bike trailer!!!
...all you want for Christmas is a carbon $2000.00 road bike. ;)
I resemble this... :o :cool:Quote:

That's what happened to me today, bwahaha.
*Raises hand* Yup. I bought 2 bikes within 3 months (my first was an aluminum, then I got a titanium one), and am now putting a down payment on a carbon one this month :)Quote:

Yes, this went through my head on at least one occasion while I was at home.
I missed something there ...
I often use hand signals while running, for example, as a courtesy to let a car know that they can go ahead and do what they were planning to do, because I'm turning off and out of their path.

you might be a cyclist if you dismount the step through spin bike at the gym by swinging you leg up back and over the saddle.
has anyone ever noticed the similarity between mounting and dismounting a horse with a western saddle and mounting and dismounting a road bike? Coincidence? I don't think so. (cue twilight zone music) ;)

the Terry, Sundance, and William Sonoma catalogs all arrive on the same day and you dive for the Terry catalog first.
Probably already posted, but.........
When TE is the first thing you check when you look at the computer!

You see a bruise on someone else's leg and know exactly how they got it and can immediately start talking about riding bikes with them. (this happened to me yesterday and we were totally cracking up)
you might be a biker when you cannot have even one piece of light colored clothing -non bike related- with a smudge of bike grease. I swear my bike projectile sheds bike grease that penetrates my gym bag.
You see the front of a car and think it resembles a bike helmet you looked at earlier.
you might be a cyclists if..... when you walk into your bedroom and flip on the lights, you notice your closet glows from all your reflective gear :eek:
