for me biking slid way down the list
I was away from serious biking for almost 20 years - just returned to biking recently
initially I did continue to bike when the kids were smaller - but as they grew / aged biking was limited to some quick off road rides in the nearby woods
instead of biking I became the kid’s youth football coach, basketball coach, and baseball coach ; continued to coach my youngest kid in baseball up to high school years
also was the RC car pit crew ... guitar / amp / keyboard roadie ...
wife also participated in many of these activities so her biking also took a big hit ... she did get out more than me though - she would get out at times with the kids when I was cutting grass / working around the house
Yea, I did a lot of coaching too. And driving, and skiing, and camping, and stuff I could do around the house and keep in touch with what was going on. But I have never felt the need to be super fit (just reasonably fit) and was never competitive. I guess I can sort of understand if you have those at the center of your life, it might be hard to give it up or compromise.
