You know you're fixed gear crazy when...

..you call someone a rude name because you realise there's loads of things you do that prove beyond doubt you've got a fixed gear problem..:D

... you have to explain jokes and acronyms to your 'real' friends, who then don't find them funny.

when you spend only half of the time you just to spend with your "normal" friends, and when they ask why you say, "I playing bike-polo" or "I have a ride to...."

...walking down the street together your girlfriend/boyfriend gets jealous of the attention you're paying other bikes

good god my girlfriend got so terribly annoyed at that, that she end up noticing bike that has a singlespeed drivetrain, much to her dismayed.

...you have to check something on your bike everytime you walk anywhere near it in the house....

And grimace everytime you see a multi-coloured lo-pro

(the bike-porn equivalent of gay fisting)

I thought Deadly Fanny Pack was a euphemism for gay fisting

I thought it had something to do with a deadly bum bag or colostomy bag, ie the result of just too much and too too enthusiastic gay fisting.

when you introduce yourself to strangers who don't even ride a bike with your forum name.

my handle can mean whatever you want it to,

but its kinda inspired by my avatar:

So you chose the avatar first?

yes.

I must say, I'm in holster heaven..

I havent met anyone from the forum yet, does everyone go buy there forum name? Id keep giggling if so. Ive become very familiar with some of the names, so would probably keep doing it myself too.

I haven't met anyone either yet (mainly because I've been in Suffolk for the duration of my short membership) but I wouldn't find it that odd if people called me wibble as it's a nickname from some of my friends..

I picked my name not expecting to ever meet anyone on the forum. East drinks scuppered that pretty quickly.

DFP, most people don't go by their forum name at drinks or polo, but some people use their nickname on here, so it's the one they're always known by.

...you press F12 and the majority (if not all) of the stickies on your dashboard are fixed-related. You're likely to find topics/lists such as frames you're interested in purchasing next, your dream bike, what you want to buy next and various sums scattered around working out how much you can afford to spend next month on bike goodies.

I am alex to everyone on here, aside from murtle who has called me andrew, matthew and mark so far. :)

I sort of hate having to say 'oh I'm asm on the forum'. I have to wash my mouth out with beer afterwards to remove the geeky aftertaste.
