How do you know that you’re a true cyclist now there are a few things that us cyclists do that make us stand out from the average person and we’re going to give you a whole list of them now some of these you might not even realize you do them

Yeah I got a call from the bike shop hey guys how’s it going yeah quick one you know the bike you showed me yesterday really Keen to buy it can you do me a deal on it 6,000 okay no problem I’ll take it one quick question though can you put it

Down as gardening equipment no no no no no no no no no we all want to get more bikes lighter bikes faster bikes more kits we want helmets for every different eventuality we want an endless supply of cycling sunglasses and shoes for every season yes it can be quite expensive when you

Add that all up and let’s be honest it can be quite selfish to spend all the date night money on bike equipment so sometimes just sometimes you have to tell a little white lie and say you’re spending money on garden equipment Yeah as a cyclist we spent a fair amount of time outside riding our bikes in the Glorious but with that comes some questionable Tan Lines Tan Lines some normal people might find quite embarrassing but us with our short Tan Lines our socks and our short sleeve Tan

Lines we wear them with pride they are our badge of honor it means we are committed to the sport and when you get your kit on in the morning you even line your shorts up with your actual tan lines to get them even Crisper when you start cycling it becomes your hobby it becomes your passion and you just end up talking to your family friends about everything cycling you just love the sport and then they associate you with bikes and I mean everything to do with bikes so when Christmas comes about yes you get

Cycling t-shirts you get cycling alarm clocks you get cycling decorated slippers you get a big duet cover with bikes on it everything you can possibly imagine will become cycling oriented I guarantee you yeah it’s kind of Our Lives Now isn’t it I mean I tell you what I’ve got

A cycling Fork I didn’t even think fork wow I Know yes one of the most obvious things a cyclist does that normal people sometimes don’t is shaving your legs now it’s got to be said we all want to get fast on the bike and aerodynamics is absolutely key so getting that hair off your legs enables you to go that bit

Faster potentially but also if you do get any scrapes or grazes it’s going to be easier to treat but I would say the biggest thing for shaved legs is it just looks better yeah I need to shave Mine now you’ve heard of the Walk of Shame but have you heard of the cyclist version of the Walk of Shame it’s when you’re out on your bike you’re in the middle of nowhere and you get a mechanical that just isn’t fixable and then you have to do the Walk of Shame as

I am now and you have to call your mom or your partner or whoever to come and pick you Up you know you’ve taken it too far when you start doing stocket Rockets when you’re not on the bike when you got no bike to be seen yeah you might be getting some strange looks from um the pedestrians or just any other passes by so watch out for that One right I think this last one is very important and one way to know if you are a true cyclist is if you’re watching this very video you’re watching gcn videos I mean can you get more of a cyclist than watching the global cycling Network it is Iconic it’s their best and

If you’re not watching it you should be so tell all your friends and tell everyone that everyone needs to be in and connected by the sport cycling hope you enjoy this video make sure you hit that Thumbs Up Button let us know in the comment section below what is your best

One what makes you a cyclist we’ve probably forgotten a few haven’t we probably there’s quite a lot of them that makes us so unique see you in the next video
