You know you're addicted to Bicycles when...
·The only ‘lube’ in your house is for lubing your chain.
·You’ll ride an hour on the winter trainer, but not 5 minutes to pick up milk.
·Your idea of a good time on a Friday night is staying home and cleaning your machine for the next ride.
·You have more pics of your bike’s than your kids.
·You get a job at the LBS (local bicycle shop) for the employee discount.
·You spend R3000 on new set of wheels but freak out when you’re overcharged at the grocery store.
·You can balance your wheels but not your checkbook.
·You complain constantly about the price of fuel for your car, but you insist on the best supplements for yourself.
·You walk into the LBS for a spare part and come out with a whole new bike.
·The sound of doorbell sends shivers down your spine (UPS? Fedex? DLH?......)
·You have a whole room in your house dedicated to your bicycles.
·You have a stash of bicycles magazines to read in the toilet.
·You’re constantly checking the tyre pressure when walking pass your bike’s.
·You have a bicycle tann.
·You have a cat named ‘SRAM’ and a dog named ‘ULTEGRA’.
·You go to Wild Bean Cafe to wait for your LBS to open.
·You have enough tubes to make a bungee cord.
·Your fingers are constantly shifting gears.
·You’re stuck between taking your girlfriend for a night out and getting lucky, or buying a new set of carbon rims.
·You’re reading this article.

What is wrong with you guys? You have an addiction. What do you need counselling now or you want a hug? Ag shame! Refer to rules 4 & 5 of the Cog http://www.velominat...log/the-rules/. Its all about the bike and HTFU. If you have an addiction, FEED IT!
