Bikes are transportation, recreation and exercise for us. We have motor vehicles, but try to use our bikes most of the time.
We have a "bicycle lifestyle" and really enjoy our bikes.
My bf has his own personal bikeshop in our basement, complete with a shop quality repair stand that he got at a bike swap. He can do everything except face a bottom bracket. He takes care of all our bikes (13) and sometimes helps friends with their bikes for beer money.
