It wasn't fun to start with.

No fun hobbies for @Velo Vol. Sad.

Working on autos, bicycles, aeroplanes, etc.

Today I went riding at the bike path. It was a little windy but beautiful. I saw a lady pushing her e-bike and asked if she needed help. She had a rear flat and no tools, pump, or spare tube. I think it was a 700 wheel and I considered giving her my spare tube but the axle needed a 10mm allen wrench which I didn't have. I suppose I could have pulled the tube out and tried to patch it but she said she only had to walk a couple more miles and seemed ok with that.

Later I caught up to a woman on a road bike and she was moving along pretty good and I didn't feel the need to pass her but she slowed a bit so I moved way left just as she blew her nose. She saw me and was very apologetic. I told her she didn't make a direct hit so no problem. Then she wanted to draft me because of the wind. It's one thing I'm good for, so, have at it. She stayed on for a few miles until I turned off. That was fun.

Of course it was. Curmudgeon.

Agree. I still mostly enjoy it. It would be a perfect career save for the cars and the people.

I'm finally putting the American Classic hubs to use that I picked up on deal a couple years back.

Hot.

Light Bicycle rims?

They are. They seem to build up nicely and they're even relatively round.

I was riding on the MUP today and as I was passing a store a guy yelled out at me "I love your bike!"

It ended up being a super nice guy that I've met in the bike shop. Has a sweet e-cargo bike that he and his two young sons are always out running errands in.

I'm pretty sure that none of those are your hobbies.

Topics are tough to come by without lawn talk, off season and all.

Good thing I drink Bud light then, I'm safe!:roflmao:

That's exactly what I thought about that old saying of find something you love then you never regret going to work, nonsense. As soon as you put time and a price tag on it it starts to suck. Then add 30 0r 40 years..
I loved being a Carpenter most days until everything became so effing blood thirsty.

Hey! They don't like that term. They prefer "little people"

I loved carpentry too. I got out just as compressors were coming in. Timing.

Miss those convos.

Unless you're tossing them.

maybe he's just a poser?

Post #3651 was about his hobby/career. Sharpen your context skills.

I stand by my comment.

Rolex? Should be a fun race to watch.

About to have a little party

Did a really hard ride today. I think it was probably the hardest I have ever gone on a bike. It felt good, but at times I thought I was going to be sick. The guy I was with is a beast. BTW I did this with only 1 hour of sleep.
Something I noticed, I felt like I was shifting my hips alot while pedaling, vs what he looked like. Not sure if that’s because of how much effort I was putting into it or the fatigue or a fit issue.
