10 Signs Indicate That You’re a Cyclist
In the followings are 10 telltale signs that you’re officially a cyclist (congratulations)
1. You can’t recognize your biking friends when they aren’t wearing Lycra. And you haven’t known whether to be flattered or offended when one of them has seen you in your street clothes and said something like, “Wow! You look really good!”
2. There’s never room on the top shelf of the dishwasher for anything other than water bottles — and no matter how many times you’ve scrubbed them, they still look dirty.
3. You’ve tried every energy bar, gel and powdered electrolyte mix on the market and have homed in on the exact right combo to keep you from bonking on long rides.
4. The “check engine” light in your car has been on for months, but the most minor mechanical issue on your bike is resolved immediately…
5. …that might be because your new bike is worth more than your car.
6. And that bike has a nickname.
7. You have at least one Facebook profile shot of you posing on or next to your bike with a gorgeous landscape (read: ocean, mountains or vineyards) behind you.
8. When you’re driving and see a pack of riders, you slow down to a near crawl and give them plenty of room. You know what it means to share the road.
9. You also know what it means to swear like a sailor when an SUV cuts you off or a hater honks and nearly startles you off your bike.
10. Saturday errands happen after your ride, probably while wearing spandex, and quite possibly while clomping around in bike shoes.
