Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Pretending to learn bass, reading, eating, making food. I am also a self-titled pro Lego-er. I have the skill and knowledge to take nice photographs, but I never really get my camera out.

:O Awesome cats! Though I believe the bottom one may be a tiger. You may want to get that checked out, I hear they eat people.

Wow, those are gorgeous cats. What kind are they?

I'm into Macs and other Apple products, Jeeps, Subaru's, fixing anything that's broken, graphic design(is it a hobby if I get paid to do it?), and other random things here and there.

Lol! I love how your first BF post is about cats, not bikes. I have high hopes for you.

And thank you! They are both bengals. I have actually never been a cat person; I am just super into this breed. Awesome temperament -- very affectionate, vocal, active, like to swim (they hang out with me in the tub while I shower... pervs), play fetch, etc. Sighhhh.

Comic books, cooking, video games, tons and tons of music (performing listening and writing), hanging out with my wife, paper and dice rpgs (but not d&d)... Does drinking count as a hobby?

Sorry to bring this old post back to life, but I just wanted to point out that having 福 upside down is a good thing. It means that your good fortune has arrived. In Chinese they say and do the same thing.

I love to travel. I just spent the past two months visiting 9 cities in China. Apart from that I study Chinese, which I completely consider my hobby. I'm just getting into the more classical literature and have a strong affection for Tang and Song poetry. When I'm not doing that I like to enjoy and good cup of coffee and near-future Sci-fi.

I forgot that one. I dig photography too. Specifically, I go out into the woods and find reptiles and amphibians and photograph them. Mostly snakes and lizards, but salamanders and frogs are rad too.

Hahah yes. Been lurking for a few weeks now but haven't had any noob questions, and don't know enough to post in tech threads, but this thread was safe lol.

I wish my cats were that active, they play from time to time and are overly affectionate, but generally lazy. When my current two cats pass(hopefully later, rather than sooner), I'd like to get an exotic mix cat like a bengal, ocicat, maybe even a savannah cat if funds allow.

Also, as an addendum to my other hobbies, I can include guns and comics.
