You know you're a cyclist when...

Watching Video's at school and show the girl next to you. And then feeling proud of yourself when she says "That guy's pretty brave".

Going over your friends house and being Bewildered about the fact that he has pictures of girls all over his walls. Than him being bewildered why there are bikes all over your walls instead of girls.
 
You know your a cyclist when:

- you go though the city looking at the couriers bike
- you find the couriers bikes more interesting than the girl next to you
- you walk around quoting " I WANT THAT BIKE" when you see a good one
- you get jealous of guys with good bikes who can't ride (bad offender of this)
 
when N+1 is complemented by P+100 for the requisite parts needed to uhmmmm replace the broken/tired/retired bits.

Hell everybody has a 23, 25, 27 & 29T sprocket for their DJ'er right ... depends on which line your gonna be riding the most as to which sprocket should be used.

Its also a bit of a worry when people break random bits and well the advice given to them is "go ask nerf if he has a spare" and I inevitably have a COUPLE, on hand.

Yeah dude it's ridiculous how often I'm hearing that...Not just parts either - you'll be like, Hey come along for the ride I have a spare bike...Which one do you want?

:D
 
When your girlfriend gets pissed off cause everytime you see someone on a bike you point out his/her flaws. Things like "Oh she needs a bigger gear" or "His top tube length is a bit small for his hieght" haha.
 
^ Thats pretty funny.

When you are walking with your girlfriend and a chick rides past and you turn around and watch her and don't get into trouble because your girlfriend knows you don't know what the she looks like but can describe every part on the bike.
 
you know your'e a cyclist when...

All you hear from your misses is:
- are you seriously goin riding again,
- all you do is ride your bike,
- are you on the computer lookiong at bikes
- i hope your not spending nmore money on bikes!

and some how all you actually register is that shes talking to you about bikes!!!!
 
I know when im a cyclist when...
Someone talks about a scratch they have on their leg, then i say "YEAH MATE! Have a look at what I've got dude!!! I got that from riding my bike man!"
I'm pretty sure alot of mtb riders have done the same. :)

Damn Straight. When rotorburn is more than just a website. It's a permanent reminder of your love for mountain biking.

When your'e replying to this thread, and your girlfriend knows that you aren't listening attentively to what she is saying so she throws the word 'Shimano' in to get your attention.

"Sorry Honey, did you say Shimano"?
 
i knew i was a cyclist when, i remember every allen key bolt size, every nut, screw, dodad, thingo, watsamajig, and that i have 1/2 of my tiny bedroom cover in bike stuff, i.e, frames, wheel, bars, hubs, spokes, etc etc, and that one of my teachers saw me looking on rotorburn and said get off the bike porn and do your work
i love this thread
 
when your l's driver/tester compares everything in a manuel car to riding downhill like gear changes and braking . hahaha good times
and when your watching boxxers and the word boxxer comes up and automatically think sweet blackbox plushness :p
and you really think your a cyclist when your working in the garden and get a pile of dirt or mulch and purposely take one side out so it can be later shaped as a berm awww yeah


oh yeah and when your parents make you sign 'real' papers to say you arent to spend any of your money you earn on any bike parts for the rest of the year but you still do the next day.

Too true

When you're hands are constantly covered in grease/mud/oil and you couldn't care the slightest anymore
Also, when none of your mates bother to ask you what you did on the weekend because they already know the answer :p
 
You pull the car over, to see if you can lend a hand, to the cyclist on the side of the road... even if your running late.

or if you pick up the cyclist on the side of the road and take him and his bike to your work when your on a motorbike. Happened this morning must have been a real sight seeing 2 guys and a pushbike on a motorbike riding down burke road.
 
When...

When all your friends want to talk to you they know the conversation will just be about BIKES, RIDING and BUILDING TRAILS. Anything else does not get a response.
