You know your a biker when....

Your on the side of the highway with a flat on drivers side (of car) and you insist that the lugnuts must be “backed off” to remove them. The lug wrench was just too similar to my pedal wrench I guess! Only took me a call to AAA for assistance when the bike God’s made me realize the error of my ways halfway through the call. That’s my true off topic bike story of the day... Car is now back home.

Well, I am down to use biker, cyclist has such a bad connotation these days.

But seriously, I heard in a podcast that in the UK they are changing the term cyclist to person that rides a bike since people see cyclists in such a poor way.

Listening the themove podcast I noticed that Hincapie and Johan both use the term "bike rider".

What happened to the term 'Wheelman'? Why, American Wheelman used to have their own League.

Tell me about it! I could not get the darn lug nut loose. I did eventually figure it out the error of my ways. Now onto figuring out if I’m a biker or cyclist...
