when...You come out of the coffee shop and look around for your bike, and then you realize you drove there today and your car is parked and waiting down the street. (bummer!)

While driving home after a club ride a couple of weeks ago, I caught myself giving a hand signal as I passed a dead animal in the road. I had to laugh.....

When you are driving and you get all annoyed that the cars in front of you aren't picking up speed down a hill. Don't they see the big uphill in front of us? Why aren't they trying to build momentum at all?!
I do this all the time.

Better than the other way around -- sleeping all night on your ride.

While in the car... I've actually yelled out "HOLE!" I guess trying to point out the hazard to another motorist... my mind always seems to be in bike mode!

When you check your helmet mirror when walking through a parking lot.
Slow down on a curve with gravel when driving the car, while looking for a safe path through.

Oh god! I've had that too! Instead of the usual 'tripping' spaz that sometimes happens as I'm about to fall asleep, I felt like I was falling over on my bike! Scared the you-know-what out of me. Originally Posted by han-grrl
