You Know You Ride a Lot When...

You know you ride a lot when you're driving your car over rail road tracks and subconsciously slow down to avoid a pinch flat.

OK, what's yours?

You lean into a turn, and THEN realize you have to turn the steering wheel.

You catch yourself looking for the "commando" route when caught in a traffic jam.

You know you ride a lot when, as you walk down a crowded sidewalk, you keep checking for overtaking foot traffic in the helmet mirror that isn't there.

One afternoon while on a bike tour, six of us walked from camp down to the nearby swimming hole to cool off. About halfway back, one of the guys piped up, "hey, look - we're running a double paceline!"

You own more tights than a children's theater performing Peter Pan.

Your wallet is clear, made of plastic and sports the designer label, Ziplok.

When styling professionals ask what product gets your hair to do that, you answer, "Helmet."

You yell into crowds exiting ballgames, shopping centers and concerts to "hold their line." They yell back that they've got something for you to hold.

You've pedaled home balancing a case of bottled beer, two bags of tortilla chips, three avocados and a hostess snack pie on your handlebars.
Ok, that's enough for now.

You're riding in the car with your wife, glance in the mirror, and yell, "Car back."

Whenever you get anywhere you go to take your helmet off.
