...you dream of moving to a town that has a bike trail even if it means a house downgrade.
...you quit your job so you have more time to ride

...half of your drive to get through school is that maybe you can move back to a town where you KNOW the biking is great.
...when you decide the blonde, brainless and argumentative bimbo who turns up to buy your dh's old bike doesn't deserve it so you talk her out of it instead of selling her the bike.
The old but beautifully kept, pretty, lightweight, rigid mtb with good components goes instead to one of my best friends![]()

You own a car, but your neighbors ask you "Do you ever drive your car?". My response: "Yes, to take my bike in the hills to do some climbing".
You have a smartphone so you can have an HTML browser that will show doppler radar from weather.com.
You have never paid for parking because you ride everywhere and refuse to drive unless absolutely necessary, or to take your bike to a distant ride location.
You don't have couches or recliners in your living room because it is full of bikes and tools.
People tell you they've seen you all over town on your bike many times.
You don't mind having to go to more than one store to get everything you need because it means more time on the bike going from store to store.
If you are in a car and see a hill, you think how fun it would be to ride your bike up it.
You enjoy watching and making ride videos.
