I know some of you out there are into fast cars or knarly off road trucks, but bikes - as in bicycles - might deserve another look. Recently I have heard the same quote from two different sources (one a lawyer, the other a businessman): Cycling is the new golf. Think about it, bikes come with a whole conusmer type sub-culture along with different cycles (road, mountain, hybrid), gear (components, clothing) and travel (races, events, touring). Add to this the yearly upgrades and updates, and you have a hobby that allows one to spend as much or as little as one likes. Kind of like tropical fish.
Add to this the fact that cycling is environementally friendly (unlike golf with all its herbicides and water wastage), is perfect for physical fitness, and very exciting (try going 70+ km down winding hills), and you have a near perfect hobby.
