When after a crash you assess the damage to your steed before yourself...

Camedown a hill once, slipped on gravel and hit a branch sending me over handlebars. Checked bike over and carried on. Couldnt understand why people were staring at me at the bottom of the hill then noticed my left calf had a big gravel rash and blood trickling down!!


. . . . when any day out the other half recommends has to be near a decent bike shop.

you read an article about how 90% of mountain bikers have some sort of testicular damage from their sport and you think " fark it, balls aren't that important, and anyway i've got kids already"

one of your first priorities after having kids, was to sort out some way they could be strapped to your MTB

...on the road ride home from the trails you (try to) scalp every roadie you see.

...you compete in TT with a camelbak.

When you painfully and embarrassingly crash into a thorny hedge while trying to go quicker on your favorite route...

All of it is toooooo right! especially this bit!

My addition: When you have that long anticipated bike part on the way you cant stop thinking about it and you try to act "non-excited" when the dude hands you the parcel...then you rip the hell out the package as soon as that front door closes.
