When you have just finished the 100km Angry Doctor and on the drive home, the first hill you come to you push your right thumb mid air as if to shift to an easier gear. Couldn't believe it actually happened

* When your family has 15 bikes, and only 3 people in your family ride. :eek:

* When you have a massive stack and instantly check your bike for broken parts and scratches - before realising your arm is gushing out blood...

* When you go to the garage, and have to move the Cannondale... to get to the other Cannondale... to get to the Faith... to get to the Demo... to get to the other Demo... to get to the Cervelo... so you can get to the car. :eek:

*When you are proud of dints and flat spots in your wheels

*When you haven't got a single scar that isn't related to bikes

Thats a good call! I bet you felt great after you nailed the climb though.;)

I often get the shits when doing the shopping as the stupid trolley doesn't allow me to lean into the corners unless I really let it have it, kind of like riding my old Dabomb.............

When you are doing a pre-test in maths and one of the questions says somewhere "A bike wheel has 30 spokes" and you feel the need to point out that it is more likely to have 32 or 36.

You're looking forward to July, and spending half the night watching people ride around the french countryside, while listening to Phil Liggett, and you still tell yourself you have no interest in road cycling.

You know you're a mountain biker when:

The only way you can convert between metric and imperial measurments is by refering to common fork travels.

"200mm equals 8inches "
"Marzocchi 888! "

When you keep old shoe boxes to store bike parts in because they fit under the bed.
When your 4 year old shares a room with 3 bikes, a tool box and has shoe boxes under his bed.

My moment of realisation was when I saw the tan lines appearing. White hands and brown forearms isn't the best look :rolleyes:
