You know you are a cyclist when......
Just when you thought all had been said on this subject I think I have the
ultimate... Drum roll.... "You know you are a cyclist when you find yourself leading a group of cyclists down a mountain at 60km/h on Google Maps." I work as a cycling guide near Riccione in Italy for 2 months every spring. Earlier this year we met the Google Car and I made a mental note to take a peek later in the year. That peek was yesterday and there I am in a red helmet at the front of the group. You can see three guys on my wheel, there are about another 8 riders some way behind me. http://g.co/maps/mn26y The name of the road we were on translates roughly to "The Pink Pedal". Quite apt for Italy given the "pink jersey".
