Dude, plagiarism is never okay. You've copied aeiea's post from the first page verbatim. Not cool. Or are you just trying to sell your weight loss pills? Spam isn't okay, either.

Good eye!

Back on topic: You might be a cyclist if you ride your bike to the garage to have your oil changed. Doh!

I resemble that statement. In fact that is exactly what I do each time I get my oil changed. My favorite was when it was a 18.5 mile ride to the dealer. I would have kept doing it, but the Saturn dealer shut down. :-(

When you just bought a great steel touring bike and only two weeks later decide the aluminum road bike you used to love riding is just not good enough - and now you are trying to justify buying an all carbon road bike.

You might be a cyclist if you hand signal when walking. I caught myself about to do this yesterday.

I did that with my partner while running the half marathon yesterday. It was pretty funny when I caught myself doing it...

Your SO, after dating for 3 years, is completely shocked to realize that he has never introduced you to his LBS, and plans to take steps to remedy this next time you visit.

And another one:

You tell your SO that if he wants to get you anything made of inorganic carbon, it should have wheels and Ultegra components. They cost about the same...

(Cue jokes about a velvet-covered bike box...)

There ya go ... your bike should be worth two months' salary ...

You possibly might be a cyclist if....:

You are counting down the months until your infant is a year old and old enough to ride in a bike trailer!!!

...all you want for Christmas is a carbon $2000.00 road bike.

A whole year? We finagled a way to secure the car seat inside the burly. As soon as DS was able to hold his head up on his own, we were off on our first bike ride!!!

"Aero bars? But what do those have to do with...Oh. You meant the candy."

Yes, this went through my head on at least one occasion while I was at home.

You might be a cyclist (and also live in Colorado...) when your Optometrist and you have a big discussion about Cervelo/Specialized/Wheatridge/Boulder/Carbon Fibre/Tri bikes while she is giving you an eye exam!

That's what happened to me today, bwahaha.

*Raises hand* Yup. I bought 2 bikes within 3 months (my first was an aluminum, then I got a titanium one), and am now putting a down payment on a carbon one this month
