you know you're a cyclist when..

[winstonw]

when you leave work early with a big box just arrived from Ribble...

[Bob_TAS]

... you start posting whilst driving your car over railway crossings

[casual_cyclist]

you cycle to work on days when it all seems too hard... because the bus and the train seem even harder

[schroeds]

You can't keep up with your surfski training squad anymore

the muscle mass in your upper and lower body are disproportionate

[g-boaf]

Your arms are ultra tanned but the backs of your hands are white.

Hmm.. let me see..

How on earth did you know?

haha indeed - I've got that tan myself - even more distinct than yours. Legs have the cyclist tan too. it's a badge of honour I'll wear proudly.

the muscle mass in your upper and lower body are disproportionate

Yes, that too. My upper body is wafer thin, legs are quite muscular. I'm trying to sort that out to fix up some bad things caused by that.

Gloves are for winter

When you don't sleep with your partner on the night before a big ride.

[Dragster1]

When your legs are pumping those pedals so hard that wind just roars past your ears

[briztoon]

.... You wake up after an operation and the first thing you ask the doctor is what your resting heart rate was during the operation

When the alarm on your heart rate monitor in ICU goes off every time you fall asleep because your resting heart rate is lower than what it's calibrated for.

When you tell your wife you're "polishing a stem" and she considers that perfectly normal, reasonable behaviour .

just as funny as the other day when someone proudly posted that they found a great online site where they ordered some lube and gloves.

Sent using Tapatalk so it will include the odd typo and mis-posting!

When your ipad runs out of memory because of all the downloaded images ... And they are all of bikes.

Your tan looks like this

.... you have weird dreams about watching cycling at the Olympics. Winter Olympics.

Now the weird(er) bit.... On big-wheeled unicycles. With full aerobars & space-helmet kit!

[trailgumby]

Yes! My waist has trimmed down enough that I can fit into that nice suit I bought!

.... annnnnnd now my thighs are too large for the 'Slim Cut' pant legs. >.<

Arrgh, yes.

But a visit to Ron Bennett, Gentlemen's outfitters cures all.

[casual_cyclist]

My jeans are the right size for my waist my not my calves!

You keep participating in the same p!5sing-into-the-wind type arguments on internet forums.
