Can someone explain this to me?

LOL, that was the one thing I hated about my old job. My office overlooked Corpus Christi Bay, so it'd be 9 am/ 11 am/1pm/, I'm stuck at work & there I see people out on their bikes, just riding along. I'd get sooooo pissed that I did not have the $$$ or time to be able to be out there on a weekday

Now, I'm safely tucked in an office where I can only see a courtyard, so I'm not in danger of taking someone out. Plus, it's a college town, so most of the kids here are on Wal-mart specials heading to class. I don't envy that!

EVERY TIME I have to resort to the car and see somebody on a bike - which is every time I have to resort to the car - I get it.
Every time I go to bike journal and read about people riding, I get it :-)

Ditto what bikerchick68 said. All KINDS of envy going on here....

....and the vision of "throwing breakfast at the dogs" ! I'm still laughing at that one!

[Bikingmomof3]

Absolutely!

[Popoki_Nui]

In a word....YES!

The window near the coffeemachine overlooks a cyclepath. So when I go for a coffee brake then I can see the cyclist going by while I am in that stuffy office. And when the weather is nice I get the urge to run to my boss and tell him I am off for the day.

It already happened 3 times that one of the pro-women was passing on her bike while I was going for a walk in my lunchbrake. I so hate that, she probably does it to annoy me

Amen, sister! I am the same way.

I get activity envy, full stop. If I'm walking to the shop or sat in my car and see someone running then I want to get my running kit on. If I see someone on a road bike then I want to be on the roadie, if I see someone on a mud covered MTB then I want to be on my MTB.

I can also get the envy when I'm doing something! The other weekend I was hiking on one of the mountains in the Lakes (Red Screes) on a beautiful, clear November day when a couple of fell runners bounded past and I wanted to be running instead (I'm not fit or daft enough to do proper mountain fell running though).

My teenagers must get sick of me muttering to myself when I see other cyclists as I drive them into town, or back home...
