it is definately a life style, tho a person may leave they always come back, cycling is in the blood, its something indescribable, but some people do know what things come first in life. Family and God whichever order you prefer should come first. once that chain is moving then other things should come into play. I am guilty of over spending, I think we all are or will be, cycling is not cheap. But I do not put cycling above my family, if things were different for me, then maybe cycling would be first in my life, but i have other issues that are more important to me
