You Might Be a Cyclist If...

I told my (non-cyclist) friend yesterday about how much the new carbon frame bike I am planning on purchasing costs, and she screamed, "You could buy a CAR for that much!!" Ha ha

This happened multiple times when I bought my Madone. I quit telling people. When they ask how much my new bike cost, I just reply, "A lot."

you pay more for your bike than your car

you pay more for your bike than your car

Or if your bike is worth more than the cars in a parking lot.

You have eight different bike routes to work, and will eagerly discuss the differences in distance, gradient, traffic, scenicness and special points of interest like the hunk you always meet at point X with anyone willing to listen or unable to run away, like your hairdresser, but you get lost the day you try to drive your car to work.

You see a bruise on someone else's leg and know exactly how they got it and can immediately start talking about riding bikes with them. (this happened to me yesterday and we were totally cracking up)

you might be a biker when you cannot have even one piece of light colored clothing -non bike related- with a smudge of bike grease. I swear my bike projectile sheds bike grease that penetrates my gym bag.

You see the front of a car and think it resembles a bike helmet you looked at earlier.
