Love yes, obsession yes. I think many of us are a little bike crazy.

Both riding and wrenching.

I like bikes
I like bikes too lol.
First it was Sting Rays, the onto lightweight road bikes (big jump), then mountain bikes, then full suspension mtn bikes, then gravel bikes, dabbled with a pedal assist bike (great fun)...
Going back to retro for a while with a beach cruiser style bike, and I have a couple of ShoGun Prairie Breaker Team Issue mtn bikes (remember them?). One fresh, and one needs a refresh. A gravel grinder is a fun, easy bike to pedal the day away. ...A modified cruiser is where my head is at right now.
I am fading away from being a roadie or hammering single track. A much more casual mindset these days. Still fun.

I mostly love bikes that are somehow out of the ordinary. I don't even care how many wheels it has, whether you sit like on a sofa (recumbent) have a time-trialing position, or whatever else. If it's out of the ordinary even to a little degree it is almost always interesting. And what's great about that is that there are no single "bike fit". A lot of different positions and shape will get the job done.
For a couple of decades, I have wanted to try a downhill wheelchair like this (but with 4 wheels)

I never ride with headphones on. Why? In the head and so fun music sounds by itself!

Bad day of work? A good ride brings up my mood. Better than sex.
Well, maybe not. But almost as good

Cycling in winter is better than skiing. When I ride a bike and meet a skier in winter, I twist my finger to my temple and always ask him: "Why are you wearing skis, you fool?"
