Spending hours on a bicycle every day might lead to irreversible changes in human brains. Watch out for the tell-tale signs that some of your friends are addicted to cycling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They have half of their lifetime memories recorded on the Strava app.<\/p>\n

They know about each pothole in the city.<\/p>\n

They never use the elevator, no matter how many floors the building has.<\/p>\n

They have a heart rate of 50 beats per minute while still managing to look alive.<\/p>\n

They use both the attic and the cellar as bicycle storage.<\/p>\n

Rather than in words, their bicycle trips are mostly described in watts.<\/p>\n

Their bikes might be about double the price of your car.<\/p>\n

When their muscles feel tired at the end of the day, they go out to cycle some 50 – 60 km just to make their legs relaxed.<\/p>\n

They can drink ten cups of ristretto per day without ending in the coronary care unit.<\/p>\n

Speaking of titanium, carbon fibre, derailleurs, chainstays, and seat heights can make them forget that all listeners have left half the lecture ago.<\/p>\n

When buying a new car, they always estimate how long it would take to get the bike into the trunk.<\/p>\n

They actually know what’s going on while watching Tour de France on TV.<\/p>\n

They’re OK with staring at their mate\u2019s bum in tight spandex for hours without questioning their sexuality.<\/p>\n

For Christmas, birthdays or Valentine\u2019s, they only get gifts somehow related to cycling.<\/p>\n

They can tell you from the top of their minds what\u2019s the calorie count for different sorts of food.<\/p>\n

Even at a pub, they sit in a way to pose minimum air resistance.<\/p>\n

Their average body weight doesn\u2019t exceed 50 kilograms \u2013 including their bike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
