10 Ways to Tell You're a Bike Junkie

Cycling is a lot like your favorite junk food. You think only a handful of chips will be enough, or one scoop of ice cream. Next thing you know, your hand has found the bottom of the bag and your one scoop has turned into a bowlful. It's hard to moderate the things we love most. Same can be true for our beloved bike hobby. In honor of throwing moderation out the window, here are

10 ways to tell you are a bike junkie:

1) All your drinking glasses have been replaced with plastic squirt bottles.
2) Your tan line is severe enough your spouse asks when you bought a new, white kit.
3) While driving to work, you nearly rear end the car in front because you were
subconsciously drafting.
4) You record and watch the Tour de France in its entirety.
5) Your bikes go in the garage and your car stays in the driveway.
6) At any moment you can tell someone which way the wind is blowing.
7) All of your clothes have at least one chain grease stain on them.
8) You pass a car on the highway and holler, "on your left!"
9) Your bike retails for more than the value of your car.
10) The only socks you own have pictures on them.

Any I'm missing? Let me know, I'd love to hear your bike junkie list!
