You ditch evening plans to ride your bike and you haven't even graduated to the "real" road yet*
*the park I go to is large and has it all, hills, flats, curves, sharp turns...planning on moving to the road in the next week or so

You find yourself in retail store parking lots standing & staring at people's bikes on racks of vehicles... or the bike rack itself... just to check out bike-related gear. Then the owner appears in the parking lot with a suspicious eye at your actions
... the conversation begins, "Hi! I am not a thief or a stalker, honest... uh, so, do you ride a lot?".
Sometimes I just feel so blessed to make it to the end of the day still alive (vs. beat to death, or shot lol).

You buy a spare saddle (or 2), in case the one you love is ever discontinued.

When you wear your cycling socks just to remind you what you'ld rather be doing than working, sigh.
Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.
