Anyone into cycling seriously or is it just occasional? - right now

A hobby thread for the people who avoid sport and tech boards.

Real answers from people here are usually more useful than search results.

I am trying to avoid the mistake of spending time or money on something that does not actually solve the problem.

Keen to hear from people who have actually done this

Occasional cyclist, enthusiastic cafe visitor. The bicycle is technically for fitness, but the real route always seems to end somewhere with pastries.

Cycling is one of those hobbies where the gear expands quietly. One bottle cage becomes three, then a repair kit, then a saddle bag, then a second bike for 'bad weather'.

Serious enough to plan weekends around rides, not serious enough to own a power meter I understand. Two or three rides a week, one long one, and the rest just for the joy of moving.

Anyone who says cycling is cheap has never priced a decent pair of shoes, a helmet, lights, a pump, tyres, tubes and the mysterious urge to upgrade a perfectly good bike.
