Signs you are getting a bit obsessed about cycling

Why would wind and rain stop play!

You are not obsessed with cycling if a rain keeps you inside.

{rain kept me inside today}

When you're not cycling you're on cycle chat reading about cycling, when you're not doing the first two you're planning the next ride.

Actually joining CC is the first sign.

I came from elsewhere, and I'm elsewhere as well.

When spare wheels hang from hooks screwed into the living room ceiling.

I wouldn't know

You can't stop looking at and buying cycle jerseys. Even starting polls to ask what others think of them.

Crazy!

I have nightmares about my bike being nicked after I didn't lock it for perfectly good reasons.

You go to buy a new pair of trainers, pick the design and colour you like, and only then discover that you've actually chosen a pair of cycling shoes.

Sadly neither can I & I live in France.

I see you live within riding distance of Mont Ventoux. Have you ridden up it before? I'll be riding up it next month, and was wondering how likely it is that a ride up Mont Ventoux has to be cut short due to high winds. Does that happen a lot?

You dont get that with a Halfords 15kg road bike...but if The SKY Team keep using kit unfit for purpose these things will happen

When you throw out the sofa coz you got 4 bikes in the living room (and 3 in the kitchen)

Mrs SG and I did downsize our dining table quite considerably to allow more bikes to fit in.

Yeah, i'll set off for my commute early and get an extra 10 in ...is what i found myself thinking.
Yeah, i'll be a tad late home, just gonna get a few extra in....

Those days are gone for me, but been there, done that.

Hi. Yes, I live pretty close but I've never biked up it I'm afraid & I'm not likely to ever manage it either. The wind wouldn't stop me though & I doubt it does many others either. I think it was only shortened for the Tour because there's a lot of insurance companies involved.

Good luck with it though, it's a long climb. I'm thinking of my wife driving me & the bike up there just so I can ride down it

You plan to go on tomorrow's local CTC's 85 mile ride, no matter what the weather. Then you wake up, look out the window and see wind and rain and think........no way, i'm back off to bed!(as happened with me at 8 o clock this morning)

I'm not that bloody obsessed!
