Signs you are getting a bit obsessed about cycling

[raleighnut]

When you break your leg (quite badly) and spend a grand on a trike just for transport (and physiotherapy too though, )

You're nearly home from your ride, you look at the mileage you've done and realise you're going to do a little less than 50 miles so you put in an extra loop to put the mileage up over 60 miles.

62.14 miles, surely?

You own more cycling clothing than other clothes......

 

[wonderloaf]

When you don't give particular attention to what you wear day-to-day, but get oh so particular about 'will that jersey go with those shorts and socks, how will they look on the bike?' when you're about to go out on a ride.

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

Or rearrange the two 2-seater sofas in the living room to an awkward L-shaped configuration to make room for a road bike, a cyclocross bike and a mountain bike, and the best road bike, a gym bike and a half-built singlespeed bike are in an overflow area in the kitchen!

(Yes, I'm an ageing singleton - how did you guess? )

99.8 km. Doh!

I'm old school, I don't do KM

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

fun with panniers as well, act like a giant sail blowing you across the road at times .

You own more cycling clothing than other clothes......

But isn't that normal?

How about spending most the night before a club ride pondering what to wear the following day!

When you get home soaked to the bone, then proceed to dry the bike first

 

[tyred]

When you doggedly stick to your tour plans and ignore the Met office gale warnings and leave a nice warm hostel to "enjoy" a coastal loop of Achill island despite being blown into the hedge, unable to see where I'm going due to misted up specs and rain running into my eyes and finding it impossible to use the big ring even downhill due to headwinds.

But then you know you've definitely earned those 5 pints for supper!!
