what hobbies do we have outside of biking?

[Pete.]

My hobby is rebuilding workshop machinery. Lathes, mills, grinders etc. Also do the odd machining job and make the odd gear or two.

I mess with computers a lot. I have too many in my collection really....
Couple of Amstrad CPCs, an Amstrad PC1512 (IRC on that baby), several P1's and the odd 486, and everything I have owned until I built a new PC... plus I end up having what other people throw out. I don't have any 286 or 386's though... I hate throwing the damn things out too.
Also, I wouldn't call it a hobby, but three cars (1 = 42yo, and 1= 31yo) also keep me occupied.

My hobby is about learning new things and I'm the kind of person who has to know how things work.

The latest hobby being digital photography and when I say I'm learning new things, I really mean learning. Learning how to expose, compose, how to work with ISO, aperture, shutter speed, histogram... all there's to it.

I also do a lot of road cycling, exploring my surroundings. I learned how to repair and adjust everything on the bike. The same goes for motorcycles, by the way. I'm yet to learn how (try) to lace a bicycle/motorcycle wheel, though.

Next, I play guitar (I even used to compose my own music), now trying to get better at playing piano. I also cook and bake a lot, I still play videogames (99% retro games, 1% new stuff) every now and then and I'll probably learn yet another foreign language. I also used to be interested in wrist watches.

Tl; Dr: I do stuff.

Cycling - both on road and off road. Out most days when it's nice, on Zwift if not. True my own wheels but never built one
(Stealth ad: I've got a Trek 9.8 Elite on Gumtree... I dare say it's the only one... come through here and I'll see about the price/extras )

Like quite a few others it seems, air rifle & pistol target shooting. To the point where I'm qualified as a national level coach

Messing about with cars, although that's usually just installing a half decent ICE system and routine servicing these days.

Karate.

Hanging about on random old forums.

Gaming... taking a break from FPS and RPGs at the moment to play a bit of Wreckfest for a change.

And whatever little jobs SWMBO gives me!

I like to play Age of Empires4 and do a lot of SimRacing to relax. Rest of my time is taken up with motorcycles, girlfriend and son who has complex needs.

I got back into model (RC) cars over lockdown, and have recently finished building my Wild One buggy. I now have a Fire Dragon kit that I totally don't have time to build.

As you can see photography is not my milieu!

I also am into full scale cars a bit, and have a 997 Carrera 4S.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Anime, porn and video games is pretty much all I do outside working.

Causing myself pain. Various methods used over the years, from throwing myself out of moving taxis, picking arguments with multiple opponents, crashing motorcycles, setting fire to myself and currently overdoing the exercise sessions at every opportunity.
