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

[kermit]

You take your bikes on vacation with you and have more jerseys than shirts. You also wear shorts with your cycling tan legs proudly and every one else looks at you like a freak.

Good one! I bought new non-cycling shorts this summer--that are a hair longer, so my tan lines aren't SO obvious

Everything you own says LIVESTRONG...
and you remember to check the roof for the bikes when they aren't on there.

Loraura, I had to laugh about the dogs being able to tell the difference between the running sneakers and cycling shoes. My two german shepherds are the same way. If I pull out my running sneakers they get all excited and if I pull out the cycling shoes they dont even get up anymore. To funny!

Paisley sulks when we put on our cycling gear upstairs vs. our walking clothes! I feel guilty when we leave her behind to ride as she goes in her kennel all by herself and just looks so sad....

I am new to cycling but I search for matching gear, and already think of fall early winter gear!

when your kids are addicted to the Tour as well...words like peloton, and jersey leaders and Lance are common words at home, but they leave everyone else confused if they ask them if they caught the Tour today?

your 9 year old is begging for a road bike, not the latest video games.

My 8 year old begs for video games *and* to go riding, but he pouts a lot more if he doesn't get to ride than if he doesn't get to play the video games.

When the dog knows the difference between your cycling shoes and your walking shoes, and doesn't even both to get excited when you start to put on your shoes (for a ride no doubt!).

My poor doggie! I had to add "walking the dog" to my son's chore list to make sure she got a walk!

OMG my dogs know the difference too!

You get to the building you work in and notice a bike locked outside. College campus, so not unusual. Out of curiosity, you go over and look at it. And then your jaw drops and you say something to the effect of "You have a what?! And you're leaving it where?! Locked like that?!" Bonus points awarded for saying this out loud.

You only have one glass of wine and leave the party early to be in bed by 11:00 on Friday night in order to be able to hang with the group at the 7:00am ride Sat. morning.

You're idea of shopping is hitting the clearance racks at the bike shops

Your feet are tiger striped from wearing Keen cycling sandals every time you ride in the summer!

Yep, got that too! I much prefer my Keen tan to the white feet/ankles, sharp sock stripe tan I used to sport, tho...
