The strange things you do

[Whosthedaddy]

From recent threads and further insights into peoples BCF psyche, its not an unfair assumption that there are some strange (if not interesting) people on here.

So, what strange habits do you have?

I tend to put my right boot on first (best foot forward maybe )
I tend to bounce up and down on the seat a little before turning the key ( I have no idea why ), come to think of it, I do this whilst waiting at lights too


The strangest

Humming the Simpsons or Indiana Jones' theme whilst filtering through traffic

Whistling the tune to 'Lazy Town' (kids program) while waiting for the train in the mornings

Thats the only one I can think of right now, I'm half hanging out of my bed typing this and my arm is going numb!!!!

Having to stop every 15 minutes for a wee.

I type with both hands

I just lean on my right arm when I hang out of bed and type, and it goes numb.

I check if my pocets are closed every ten minutes.
When I find speed limit road paint"50", I go through between 5 and 0 without touching them, and I'm pleased with it.
When I find pylons on motorway, I feel like doing slalom.
When I find a rideout group, I often run behind the group as if I'm a group member.

I pat my bike on the tank and thank it when I get home from a good ride.........

I also scream at the weather if it turns on me when I'm out. Top of my voice "YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS? AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!"

I have a few strange habbits

I constantly shout/ hurl abuse at car drivers, in my lid, so no one can really hear but still makes me feel better.
Nearly allways whistle the italian job soundtrack when riding through town/filtering
Sometimes talk to myself as in "ahh shiiiit i've gone to fast into here, bolloooocks im not going to make this, Haha wanker in you'r corsa you look a twat!" etc etc
If im on a nice ride around the countryside, i shout moo at the cows and bah at the sheep

well thats most of my odd things, there's others i can't remember, i must do them subconciously

[Ariel Badger]

All these are good things to do (except sniffing your arse that is).
You are on a bike and are part of your suroundings rather than isolated in a box of a car.
The weather affects you, the cows affect you everything affects you.
All of your senses are stimulated on a bike, react to the stimuli.

OK, this is the wierdest one... for some totally bizarre reason, when riding my bike I start singing 'Goldfinger'. I have no idea why but that song just keeps coming into my head... and other various Shirley Bassey tracks. I need help!

When its dark I tend to talk to myself or I get bored, no idea why.

I ride a lot of lanes with no number or letter in the Welsh Borders. In the winter when all the animals are in the farms rather than the fields a lot of poo gets on the roads. I have returned from a good day out plastered in shit.

I stand on the pegs and shake my arse, to settle the plums comfortably.

I tend to talk myself thru my riding too. Just a habit (a good habit I guess) that I was taught during DAS... Check your speed, change gear, get in position for this next turn, check for manhole covrs, any surface water or diesel?....

My OH asked me the other day if I get bored on the bike when I haven't got any music to listen to (she's constantly got the radio blasting in the car)...
She was a bit confused when I said "I never get bored, I'm usually too busy!" - I guess she still doesn't understand how much more involved you get when riding a bike instead of driving a cage.

It probably makes a difference that I haven't been riding for very long, and I'm still not doing too much of my riding subconsciously yet.


...and I'm also another one that tends to check my pockets regularly - usually AFTER I've just put my gloves on
