You know you're addicted to this cycling thing when...

[kmehrzad]

You have become a dopplar radar specialist, and people consult you on weekend weather.

You wonder whether the salad bar will be enough to fuel your ride home.

You stop washing off your chain tattoo.

I am such the 'dopplar radar specialist', especially in my office. If someone just mentions weather, I'm all over it. Plus I have a weather forecaster on my kitchen table which I plan my day by. Fortunately it's mostly right.

Whenever I travel to a new city or town, I seek out the local bike shop and make a point to visit it. I'm always looking for something unique or something I haven't come across in my LBS.

Your feet hurt, your butt hurts and you're still getting ready to ride a 35 mile ride.

[OakLeaf]

You're about to set off on a weekend ride that's so tough you've been afraid to do it since you first heard of it in 1983. There's a 90% chance of rain tomorrow. And you're just hoping you remember to take your cadence sensor off so it doesn't drown (again).

You buy new wheels and don't tell anyone, for fear they'll think you're crazy for spending that much on just the wheels.

You fly all the way from L.A. to Minneapolis for your niece's wedding, but your main preoccupation is checking out the bikers and bike paths in beautiful Minneapolis.

Oh - this one rang a bell - I attended my nephew's wedding in St. Croix Falls, WI last year and my biggest decision wasn't what to wear to the wedding; it was which bicycle to take (bad auntie ).

...you dream of moving to a town that has a bike trail even if it means a house downgrade.

...you quit your job so you have more time to ride

[Kitsune06]

...half of your drive to get through school is that maybe you can move back to a town where you KNOW the biking is great.

...when you decide the blonde, brainless and argumentative bimbo who turns up to buy your dh's old bike doesn't deserve it so you talk her out of it instead of selling her the bike.

The old but beautifully kept, pretty, lightweight, rigid mtb with good components goes instead to one of my best friends

You own a car, but your neighbors ask you "Do you ever drive your car?". My response: "Yes, to take my bike in the hills to do some climbing".

You have a smartphone so you can have an HTML browser that will show doppler radar from weather.com.

You have never paid for parking because you ride everywhere and refuse to drive unless absolutely necessary, or to take your bike to a distant ride location.

You don't have couches or recliners in your living room because it is full of bikes and tools.

People tell you they've seen you all over town on your bike many times.

You don't mind having to go to more than one store to get everything you need because it means more time on the bike going from store to store.

If you are in a car and see a hill, you think how fun it would be to ride your bike up it.

You enjoy watching and making ride videos.

When having ordered yet another little pressie for your bike.....you have it delivered to your address at work so that you can sneak it in your backpack and then home

If only to avoid the 'how many pairs of shorts does a girl need?' or 'more stuff for your bike?' questions when you get back home after your (bike, of course) commute to be handed yet another parcel that arrived earlier that day

When you're driving, you inadvertently start forming pacelines with the other cars on the road before realizing it's not the smartest thing to do in a car...

THAT'S funny!!! His bike deserved better!!!

When every abstract painting appears to be of a bicycle, even a Rothko.
