Well, it is a little like a middle-aged man buying a sports car, though as you say, it's healthy.
When I solved my mid-life crisis by turning to cycling, I explained to people, including my wife, that this was a much more constructive and less expensive solution than buying a sports car or chasing after age-inappropriate women.
Now, more than 10 years later, I've spent as much on bikes as the cost of a pretty nice sports car.
