It's taking over your life...
Watching the Tour de France is one of the best things about being a cyclist or a cycling fan, but believe it or not you can have too much of a good thing.
Ever wondered what happens if you over-indulge in following ‘le Grand Boucle’ and end up a little bit, how can we say this, addicted?
If you’ve been watching hours and hours of the race every day like we have, it can start to have some unexpected side effects that’ll affect your day to day life.
From starting to talk like a commentator in normal conversation to accidentally throwing away your possessions on your morning commute.
You may have to field endless questions about the Tour from those less knowledgeable about the sport, or you could find you’re becoming far too well acquainted with the vital statistics of certain members of the peloton.
If you’re worried that you may have become what’s known as a Tour Addict, here’s a set of signs and symptoms to look out for.
