Characterizing my expenditures on cycling as an 'investment' with respect to bicycle racing is idiotic. I would have expected nothing less from you.
On the other hand the fact that due to cycling I am 30 pounds lighter, exceptionally fit for a man my age, mentally and physically sharper, happy, relaxed, even more strikingly handsome than I would otherwise be and generally happier than most of the people I know - well, I'd say that all things considered the $20K I've dumped on bike crap over the past five years strikes me as a screaming friggin bargain.
