When you take your dogs for a walk on a trail at the local state park, walk across 3 wooden bridges and all you can think about is how COOL of a mtb trail this would be. At the next intersection there is a bike picture with a red circle and line through it and all you can do is scowl ferousiously that these people just don't get it....
When you try and clean out your closet and figure out why the heck you have more jerseys than shirts for work

When you find yourself saying "no I am just going to a short ride today - oh about 25 miles"
When the golf clubs that were so carefully purchased haven't made it out of the storage shed all season.
when you think " I must ride against this 25 mph wind because wind makes me strong!"
this one truly shows you are on the dark side
You send in the wedding RSVP card 2 months prior then find out there is a great little tour that day so you send a cheque and your regrets a week before the wedding ( hey at least enough time to give the caterer a final count)
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

...when you go home early and more-or-less sober on Friday nights, and your friends are finally getting used to your reason: "I've got a long ride tomorrow morning."
...when you spend the morning of your 25th wedding anniversary doing a short ride with your guy: 25 miles for 25 years.
...when your friend takes up cycling, and she barely has to buy any accessories--you give her the "extras" you've got lying around--extra gloves, extra seat bag, extra helmet, etc.Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

...When my dog puts himself in his crate as soon as I put the helmet on my head (up until that moment, poor Zaboo has hope that he will be "coming with!")

when the only friends you've spent time with in the last six months are the ones that also ride....
When you've set your wedding date KNOWING happily that EVERY anniversary will be spent in NY riding the Five Boro Bike Tour.
When you give up back packing all together because who wants to go to the mountians and leave the bike at home?!!
When you sell your old car for bike parts.

When you are driving down the interstate and spot a vehicle with a loaded bike rack, and pull up behind them, right on their tail, to see what the bikes are.

When Driving your car and you start to slow down, you think of unclipping your feet from the cars brake pedal.
