    your coworkers always ask "Is that YOUR fancy bike upstairs?"

    or despite the weather, they ask "Did you ride in to work today?"

    Hee - one of my (now ex-) colleagues had a bike WAY more expensive than mine, and he used to bring it into the exercise/weight room while he was showering, then took it up to his office for the rest of the day.

    I hid it once, just wheeled it round the corner while he was in the shower. Poor guy came tearing out of the mens locker room 2 minutes later wearing only a towel. He had heard the ticking of his expensive drive train from UNDER WATER.

    So sweet, just like a new mother

    You start planning 2 to 3 days in advance for the first BIG winter blizzard of the season because the weather men are acting like it is headed your way....Ice, wind, and 20 degrees....sounds like an interesting ride to work.

    Your co-workers have to actually physically stop you from riding home when the weather is really dangerous (dark, 30mph wind, rain, lightning, etc.)

    Still trying not to feel like a quitter about that day!

    When asked, yet again, by bewildered co-workers, "You rode in this rainy/snowy/icy/cold weater", you resist the urge to quip, 'No, I just have a Gore-tex fetish!"
