My bikes are tools. I am not emotionally involved with any tools in my tool shed. I need a hammer, or a saw, or a bike, I just go get it, use it for the task at hand, and don't give it much thought. Just because I fix a leaky faucet doesn't make me a plumber, and just because I jump on a bike to get somewhere doesn't make me a "cyclist". Bikes are tools, not objects of any sort of passion for me.
