As the resident cycling obsessive I can only concur. Many things I could live without but I would find it very hard to live without my bike(s)

I started becoming interested in cycling when I was watching "Kikis delivery service", the finest film of the 21st century (@craner)
There's a bespectacled boy who winds up befriending (and who knows what else) the titular teenage witch, and he's always zipping about on his bike
There was a scene in particular where they're flying down the hills on his bicycle in the sunshine that made me think "ah that must be quite fun"
And lo! It was fun

I spend far too much time watching ridiculous downhill MTB videos that scare me silly.
I think like many sports/pastimes there is a potential to become obsessive. Always a new piece of kit, something that will make you go faster or look better. I think it’s also about doing something for yourself - the bike (or whatever it is) gives an uncomplicated pleasure, it’s not freighted with irony or an intellectual position. It’s fun - until you break your wrist…
