My hobbies are cycling, bike mechanics (one of the reasons I have so many bikes), photography, cooking (I am still searching for the perfect whiskey marinated grilled steak recipe) and cruising cars (I don't wrench on cars).

Well, right now it seems like I am living, eating, sleeping, and breathing Electrical Engineering for one more year before I graduate.
Other than that, I am a very avid ham radio operator, I enjoy the technical challenge and making contacts across the globe with a few watts of power and a wire. After graduating I hope to get back into camping a little bit.

My current hobbies are playing guitar (not bad) and piano (bad). I also like photography which I'd be a lot better at if I could just get that new lens...

I would say working on my bike is a hobby. I'm also in the old car hobby, owning a 24 Ford Model T and a 73 Triumph TR-6. So doing vehicle maintenance is kind of a common thread.
I also have been in computer flight simulation hobby (microsoft flight simulator) since the first MS version for the IBM PC back in the early 80s. That got me interested in computer scenery creation which got me into GIS and mapping.
For something different I study US Civil War history.
Finally I am involved in conventional (aka bullseye) pistol shooting. It's a good stress reliever. From that I've gotten into old firearm collecting and hobby 'smithing.

Packers Fan
Guns, cigars, wine, music, fast cars, and women.
Used to be fast motorcycles as well, until I got hit. I don't ride anymore.
Oh! And BBQ.... smoking ribs, pork shoulder, beef ribs, etc. Also steaks, tri-tip. I'll make Nashville fried chicken and other stuff as well. I have perfected the buffalo wing. My next toy will be a Camp Chef Woodwind pellet smoker. I want the convenience of a pellet smoker so that I can meal prep my lunches for the week, and in sunny SoCal, it's always BBQ season.

Right now it's photography, crocheting and making stuff from paracord.
In the past I've done blacksmithing, woodworking, model trains, shooting sports, and offroad driving (like trail driving, not rock crawling).

Photography and, in the winter, computers. Photography (wildlife and nature) and cycling get me out to nature, but they compete for my time, which is good I guess.

I play drums, ride motorcycles, birdwatch and recently have developed an interest in astronomy. But my BEST hobby in the last three years are my two granddaughters. They've changed my life. I bought the three year old her first bike today.

I used to be into mechanical computer keyboards. I currently use an old IBM capacitive buckling springs 4704 series keyboard that is almost as old as me. I also still dabble a bit in trebuchets.

I’m a serial hobbyist. Have done lots more over my 69 years and suppose I’d be better at one or two things if I concentrated or gave up lawyering.
Bonsai - design, growing, display
Bread baking from home-milled organic grains
Wood working with hand tools
Flyfishing and tying
For many yeas rock climbing and mountaineering
straight razors, restoring, honing, using and occasional first aid
Bike(s) maintenance
Collecting rare climbing, exploration, and flyfishing books (when you could find such things in antiquarian book stores for little)
