I play drums and mess around on the synth/keyboard from time to time. Used to play oboe and occasionally clarinet as well. Never could learn stringed instruments.
As both a hobby and part of my job - classical Greek philosophy and science. I also enjoy learning about meteorology, tinkering around with computer systems, exploring industrial and/or dilapidated urban environments, and watching Big 10 football. I used to be a bit of a gamer, but haven't been down that rabbit hole in a while.
Failed hobbies: cooking, gardening (I'm awful at both!), photography, camping (I need to live somewhere dry), running (body gave out), vintage fashion.

I am an airline pilot by profession, but fly aerobatics in my Extra 300 as a hobby. I also race cars and do lots of wine tasting and evaluation for fun.

I build 1/35 scale static plastic tanks. I use the bicycle to go to the hobby shop to get supplies and/or kits.
It''s now 30 kilometres each way since the hobby shop moved.
Cheers

Besides cycling……
Kayaking, hiking, playing the piano, nature and photography in general, plus the odd wooden boat build.
My better half taking in the view of the Saskatchewan Glacier (Banff National Park)
Mexican Standoff. West coast of Vancouver Island (Near the Food Islets)
Redfish Silver cedar Stripper
Pygmy Arctic Tern 17 Stitch and glue

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.

gadgeteer, puttering around, wandering aimlessly, model railroading, budding artist - sketching & watercolors, hating exercise.
biking satiates all of my needs. when i bike, i am stimulated by things i see which can be incorporated into my other hobbies, and when i do those i think about how much i enjoy riding my bike.
it's complicated.

My '6 shares DD duties with my Subaru wagon - depends on whether I need to haul stuff.

Litespud,
Sweet TR-6! You running electronic ignition? This is my second one. I drove a 1975 all through the 1980's.
Mine isn't really Sapphire, it's a green-ish tealy kind of color. Not British Racing Green and not Teal, kind of in-between.
BTW, how did you mount those driving lights on the bumper and what did you hook the electrics up to?

All things acoustic guitar related. I also do woodworking and have slowly been learning luthery for the past 10 years.
I did these recessed panel wainscoting frames throughout my house because boys will be boys and kicked holes in the walls.
I also use it to support my wife's habit. I need to make something a little nicer IMO though. Years of putting IKEA together and tightening bolts on the kitchen table and chairs means that I could probably move up to cabinetmaking.
When you can't find a medicine cabinet that fits the hole in the wall:
These are the first two guitars I've built.
I have another in the early phases.

I do love Linux, the idea of it, the open-source community but, and there is, unfortunately, there is a but, as a professional photographer, I found that there are too many things I use like photoshop, lightroom, a photo program called ON1 a green screen program that just doesn't run on Linux. I used Linux Mint for a couple of years as what I call my business computer, ran some things under wine, but finally gave up and went back to windows, damit.
