As for me, picked up bicycling. Bought a Trek Shift 4 the other day and I'm now commuting to work when I can.. Bicycling is very much Amiga-like in that you buy the main part -- in this case the bike -- then you spend years trying to buy all the tchotchke to make it your own.
Same with motorcycles
Who woulda thought ten years ago that today Lance Armstrong and I would have the same number of Tour de France wins?
I left my mountain bike out on my balcony for in the elements, so its needing new everything.
I ended up buying this single speed bike. There are not many hills around here, but I never considered a strong headwind. It would be very strange riding a bike with that coasts now.

Its great you can ride to work
I might be able to do it once but there is a 50% chance I'd die on the way there, and 50% chance I'd die on the way home.
