When you really want titanium circle barbells for your ears, but are thinking of getting ti captive bead rings instead because they are cheaper. Even though you hear they are a bear. Because if you do that, you'll maybe have money for Bikename stickers then. (but since you really don't have the money for rings, it's kinda like robbing Peter to pay Paul)
When you make your child ride his bike, and he thanks you for it.

When it's the last day of the month and after posting your morning ride, your Bike Journal mileage reads 242, and you think, "I could come home after work and get in 8 more miles to make a 250-mile month."
P.S. An evening thunderstorm prevented me from actually doing this.

... You no longer take the fast lane on the freeway. You are content staying in the right lane and ignoring the other drivers whizzing by you.
... You send your friends pics of hot new bikes
... You try on a new suit and wish it had a padded bottom and pockets in the back
... You spend way too much time on TE!!!

. . . when you call in sick to sneak in a ride
. . . when you take a vacation day to stay home and watch the baby because you'd rather have a babysitter for that night's weekly ride than for during work hours
. . . when the burley has more miles than the car seat

When you're riding with your kids and come up to a hill, look at the kids with a great big mom smile and say with pure glee 'First hill of the day! C'mon you know you can do it' while being met with rolling children eyes...

When you look at your new pink wheels and think "I really *need* that pink saddle bag."
"The bicycle was the first machine to redefine successfully the notion of what is feminine. The bicycle came to symbolize something very precious to women - their independence."—Sally Fox
