funny but very true indeed...all of you maybe can relate...taken from another forum
1. His everyday conversation would always include bike jargons.
2. His bikes are kept safe inside our house- preferably in the living room or the bedroom.
3. He find it amazingly easy to justify the purchase of a third bike - this one just for special rides.
4. He's got me to automatically assume that he'll be on a group ride or race every weekend.
5. He meticulously cares for his bike, while his car quietly rusts away.
6. He views Christmas, birthdays, and anniversaries as times to exchange gifts of bicycling components and accessories.
7. He hangs around bike shops without really needing anything.
8. He easily rationalizes replacing perfectly good components, just because something slightly better or trendier just came out.
9. He never throws away the replaced parts - even worn out tires and tubes.
10. His eating habits have changed. Carbo-loading suddenly creeps into his diet.
11. He doesn't plan any family events ahead until checking the calendar of race events and group rides in his group's blog.
12. He divides his friendships into two groups - those that bike and those that don't bike.
13. He talks about , Armstrong , Lemond , Ulrich as if they were his close personal friends.
14. He finds himself carrying on a spirited conversation with Carmichael.
15. He talks as if he really understand gear ratios.
16. He'll ride all day under the scorching heat of the sun, and then complain at home why it's so hot.
17. Our family photo album is becoming filled with bike photos . On the other hand, he has not taken any candid photos of my kids and I in months now.
18. He regards the severity of a sickness or injury by the length of time it takes until he can resume biking.
19. He's beginning to actually enjoy drinking warm water out of a water bottle and pigging out on bananas.
20. He considers not being able to ride on his favorite ride as "the ultimate tragedy."
21. He hangs on to his favorite biking outfits, like a child's teddy-bear, even though they are tattered and torn.
22. He's got another reason for boys night outs and keep the SMB lites' flowing!!!
