You start drafting the person in front when you are walking along the pavement. You know it's cronic when you reach a hill and you start planning when to attack.0

When you are driving along a beautiful bit of winding road and switch off and go into cycling day dream mode and drift all over the place. my wife gives me a sharp nudge when this happens, she knows the signs. This is also uttered with the words, " stop thinking about bloody cycling" or something like that. 0

You need to go for a number 2 and in one hand you're holding the latest copy of Esquire with Megan Fox on the front in her pants and in the other hand you have the latest copy of Pro Cycling with the latter magazine winning hands down. Jump forward half an hour to a serious case of pins and needles in the legs...0

If you sit on the bog for half an hour reading Pro Cycling you do. See Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon II for an example...0 -

Yea, while pointing at them & shouting "left" (when driving on your own)
During my brief stint as a learner driver, I did occasionally - due to force of habit from cycling - let the car's steering 'follow' a corner, forgetting that a car doesn't lean into bends in the same way as a bike does. And I also drove with thumbs out resting on the centre bit of the wheel in an approximation of being 'on the hoods'. None of it deliberate, just done out of instinct.
