Washing up liquid: I've never lived in a house where it didn't live on the worktop behind the skink, untill I met the missus who tidies it away with the cleaning stuff under the sink.
Swarfega: see washing up liquid, big pot lioves next to the sink. Missus tidies it up, there's now a big oil handprint on the cupboard door.
Box of stuff: ever since I was a kid there's always been a box of stuff by the door, hats, gloves, helmets, cycling shoes, saddle bags, dog leads, etc, all lived in the box ready to be grabbed on the way out the door. Missus insists all this stuff should be tidied away, then wonders why I have to spend 45min faffing before leavig the house trying to remember where everythig is.
What things do you have/do that you just thought were normal, but actualy aren't to other people? (riding bikes asside).
This thread will go downhill in 3......2......1.............
Pink shirts.
Not as in the sadly now rather tawdry tailor that once was Thomas Pink, but shirts in the colour pink.
I think all chaps should wear them. Some of my American colleagues think it indicates something about a chap's sexuality. Idiots. Wouldn't matter if it did, but still...
crashing motorbikes... perfectly normal IMO
Commuting on a mountain bike in lycra.

Writing with, and owning, multiple fountain pens. What was once normal is now a curiosity to almost everyone I work with.

Awwww, gotta love the septics and their views on style 😉
Giving someone a lift on your bike seat while you stand up is called a 'Croggy'. Apparently its not Lancashire but in Lincolnshire thats what it was referred to as!
I have a pink micro-gingham shirt on today.

Cycling to work, shops, errands etc That raises a few eyebrows.

Not being the slightest bit interested in football. Some people just can't compute that.

I think pink is almost more of a mans colour than a woman's these days.
Getting up early on a Sunday morning to do four hours on a bike.
Trolling middle aged men in the late hours of the evening

Riding a bike at 43yrs for fun. And doing it in the dark in winter!

Internet Foruma I mean WTF is that all about
EDIT: Bad spelling /typos and not correcting them
Turning down a promotion at work...not for all the tea in China....
Light Pink shirt here too.. ohhh ek, though mines a block colour sans stripes or checks.
Odd things:
Black Tea.
Cutting the hard skin off your finger tips near the nail.
Ironing (I do all ours, MrsBouy thinks it's wrong)
Washing up, why have a dishwasher when you end up washing up (I use the DW, MrsBouy washes up)
I think being awesome to one another is normal.

Inflammatory? Never. 😉
Not owning a TV.
Listening to new music instead of old stuff.
You'll never catch me in a pink shirt. Not that I think it's gay, I just hate the colour. Worn by modern day yuppies.
I don't think ANY man should wear skin tight lycra. Its stuff that belongs in the past. Sorry.
*is disappointed*

Let's make it happen! All those awkward faces of, "I wonder if he's doing STW Pink Shirt Tuesday as well? Hmmmmm" will be worth it!
he looks alright. its funny the lycra bashing thing. you have seen what mountain bikers look like right?
are baggy shorts and camelbacks cooler than lycra? errrr.... not really.
at least lycra is functional. dressing like a cut off motocross rider is pretty damn ridiculous.
Wiping from back to front

Infinitely. Even if baggy shorts are uncool, they're still far, far cooler than lycra.
