[RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[John McClusky]

Sorry to hear about the accident David.  Buy an old house.  Based on my 
experience, that’ll keep you busy for a solid decade.  I’m just wrapping up the 
last big project, the kitchen remodel in our 1924 bungalow.  We hired some of 
it but my wife and I are building the cabinetry ourselves.  With an old house 
your “hobbies” become woodworking, drywall, demolition (my wife’s favorite), 
plumbing, electrical and landscaping.  None of it’s cheap but it does add to 
the value of your home.

After the kitchen’s done we’re building out the pottery studio so I can get 
back to a hobby I haven’t done in 20 years.

@Brian, you can't post that without telling us the name of your band(s)! Got to 
check you out on Spotify!

At 51, I find myself in 2 original rock bands. One with my wife and 
brother-in-law and the other, with long time friends. Writing, rehearsing, 
playing shows, recording music and all of the stuff that comes with it is 
taking most of my free time at the moment. We are all self taught players 
and do it as a creative outlet, with no real aspirations, other than to do 
it. 

That said we have racked up thousands of listens on Spotify etc. and the 
band with my wife was contacted recently by a small label who wants to put 
out our music on vinyl. Perseverance pays! ;-] This was something we all 
did before our children were born and decided to start again, now that they 
are older and starting their own lives. 

The two worlds occasionally (cycling & playing music) collide as they will 
in early November when I have to play a show on 11/2 (late night affair) 
and do a 100k gravel ride on 11/3. We shall see how I fare.

I broke my collarbone a few years ago. As a result, I got into ham radio. 
My girlfriend and I studied and took the licence exam together. You could 
spend a lot of money on gear and equipment but there are a few inexpensive 
radios and many DIY projects that can be done inexpensively. There are 
multiple facets of radio communication to explore. I'm currently working on 
learning Morse code which has been a fun, brain bending adventure. I've 
also joined Summits on the Air which involves hiking (or cycling) to 
registered peaks, logging contacts, and getting points for the peak. Check 
it out at https://www.sota.org.uk/

Whoops - forgot photography! I shoot 35mm mostly, some medium format, and,
about once a year, 4x5. I develop my own black and white film (then scan
it). I bring my color film (rare) to a mom-and-pop photo shop here in
Brooklyn, but I'm going to start developing it myself more often (only done
it once). My camera habit is like the bike habit is for some of you - N+1.

Re: [RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

['Eric Myers' via RBW Owners Bunch]

What an interesting bunch of folks, I wish more of you lived closer to me.

While my wife was pregnant I worked on reducing my hobbies, so that I could 
spend more time with my son.  I picked music (guitar) and reading as things 
I could do either alone or with him.  He's 13 and we still play music 
together sometimes, and still read the occasional book out loud to each 
other.  The key thing I try to include is that it should be music or books 
that are new to both of us, or already loved by both of us, so there is a 
shared sense of exploration or appreciation.

Later we started biking as an activity we could do together as a family, 
and I still ride with my son a lot.  But we also spend time walking by the 
river, skipping stones, talking about stuff, birding, etc.  These are all 
good times, year round.

Over time my son and I have also had a great time exploring and 
experimenting with the simple machines (lever, inclined plane, pulley, etc).

Outside of family time, I run a fencing school where I research and teach 
historical swordplay, and also translate renaissance era fencing texts to 
English.  This is my main outlet for spending time with other adults.

Finally, my woodworking hobby has been on hiatus for a long time, but I'm 
starting to get into that again.  Designing stuff and making it is pretty 
rewarding.

Re: [RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[David Bivins]

My hobbies:

Analog (mostly) synthesizers and effects; playing with and building. It's
pretty inexpensive to get into building electronics. You can start with
some simple hand tools (screwdrivers, wrenches) and an entry-level
soldering iron. As with bikes, you can crank up the geekiness (and expense)
as high as you'd like. Aion Electronics (https://aionelectronics.com/) is a
great source for kits (and printed circuit boards if you want to buy your
own parts) for building clones of many classic and rare guitar pedals. If
you play guitar or another electronic instrument, you can then use it! I
find the smell of rosin on a rainy day to be quite relaxing ;) (kidding
kind of - get a fan).
I've built a large modular synthesizer in the older 5U format (MOTM for the
fellow travelers, 30+ modules). The modules were offered as kits back in
the 90s and I saved my pennies for each one. It's now an impressive
instrument from which I can coax sounds never heard before.
I repair older, simpler analog machines, such as old drum machines. I find
them broken or "as-is" on eBay, fix them, then sell them or add them to my
collection. If you start with a single model and get to know it well,
you'll become proficient pretty quickly and learn a lot that will help you
with your next model.

Playing music with my adolescent son. He plays b-flat clarinet and I play
b-flat trumpet. He has trouble sight-reading the music, so we play
together. It keeps my embouchure intact and is genuinely helpful for him.

Helping my child with homework. I know, hobby?! Yeah. He's dyslexic, so
diving deep into that and learning (and helping him learn) strategies for
playing to his strengths and getting around his weaknesses is exciting,
challenging, and super useful.

Bettering myself. I used to shun the "self-help" category like the plague,
but I'm now very interested in flexing mental muscles I've long ignored due
to my half-baked DIY attitude ("I don't need help!"). Example: How to Be a
Stoic by Massimo Pigliucci. Really good stuff to incorporate into my life
and outlook.

Coaching and refereeing youth soccer. Holy cow refereeing is difficult when
one has never been a soccer fan. When my kid joined a team, I had fun
watching. Then they were short on coaches, so I said "what the hell, OK"
(it's AYSO so it's only competitive in the game you're playing - there are
no tournaments or rankings). When they were short on referees I said "this
is a terrible idea, but OK." Fun fact - the kids yell at the ref more than
the parents do. And these kids are too young to caution or send off :)

Volunteering at a community garden. I know nothing about gardening. But I
seem to have a knack for getting people to volunteer for things, and I've
taught myself how to build pretty nice raised beds and a chicken coop. I
was membership coordinator, so I got to meet everyone, and eventually I
became the garden coordinator - basically setting in motion stuff the
steering committee and the garden overall votes on. It's a great way to
spend a weekend - kind of like the rural property someone else mentioned.
There's always something to do, and there's rarely a deadline for when to
get it done. I also grow a ton of my own garlic now, so I have that!

Re: [RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[Dan McNamara]

I have a few hobbies that ebb and flow depending on what else is going on. 

Rebuilding lever espresso machines. 
Mostly the smaller machines like La Pavoni, Olympia Cremina, Sama. Friends find 
machines at garage sales and I’ll fix them up and show them how to use them. 
Parts are readily available. Nice combination of wrenching, plumbing and 
electrical. Occasionally I’ll sell one to fund further endeavors. 

Playing guitar and ukulele. 
Working on this with my 8 year old daughter. A WIP on both our parts. 
 
Film photography.
I have been down the photography route before. Decided to leave the Nikon SLR 
alone this time and use a fixed lens rangefinder. Decent ones are fairly 
inexpensive - there have been lots of good recommendations on the list 
recently. Tuning up a older camera can be pretty satisfying. Replacing light 
seals or a stuck shutter is not too difficult but does require a clean space 
and concentration. Then you get to take pictures with it. 

Friends have tried to get me interested in other things - stamp or coin 
collecting, baseball cards, Frank Zappa records etc - but I have so far 
resisted.

How’d I miss the banjo recommendations. If not super musically inclined, like 
me, maybe check out a banjolele. It’s tiny and a mix of a banjo and ukulele. 
Sounds great and it’s Pretty easy to learn 4 or 5 songs, where more complex 
instruments have discouraged me.

[RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[Drw]

Feeling these feelings now too. 

Film photography with cheapish cameras has been happening recently. I’m not a 
photographer, but have an art degree, and it’s been nice doing something 
different and analog and easy these days. You can spend a lot of time looking 
at cameras (see my recent post), spend very little and come away with fun stuff.

Also, potentially not financially feasible, we bought some property out in the 
country, before kids, that needed/needs a lot of work. Much of my time is 
dedicated to simple (painting a room. Cutting 10 acres of brush every year) to 
complicated (replacing a well. Rebuilding a barn) jobs. The work has been 
infinitely rewarding and relatively cheap, since it’s just me slowly plodding 
along at it every few weekends. 

I’d love to say reading, but that’s the hobby I maybe want to do the most and 
get to do the least. It’s such an easy target for distraction...or maybe I 
don’t try hard enough

Re: [RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[Eric Floden]

I have a number of activities but will mention one that has tied in with
riding in the past. I became a radio fan and DXer in my teens and have
retained an interest through today. My interest in mostly AM/MW, and
shortwave. I have carried a small portable on my rides, either overnights,
or up great hills. Currently use a Sony ICF-SW7600GR.

When I was a baseball fan, I would take a portable up one of the local
mountains and listen to a game from a Washington state broadcaster. (In the
90s, much of the post-season was not available in the Vancouver market.)

When in eastern Ontario at the cottage, I have pedaled up to a high point
(Foymount) and listened at sunset for interesting signals.

FM and TV DX is a thing, but has not interested me. Yet.

More info:

I have been a member of the Ontario DX Association, the IRCA, and NRC, and
found membership helpful and rewarding.

[RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[Matt C.]

I'm going to answer your question a bit differently because I've been going 
through something similar. 

I have two kids (3 and 1 years old). Instead of hobbies I do myself, I have 
been curbing my hobbies to involve them. 

Here are a few things I've done:
Wrenching on bikes in my little workshop is something they both love to do with 
me. Though I never expect to get much accomplished. But they just grab a wrench 
and try to figure stuff out. It's pretty fun to watch. 

About a year ago we bought a house nearby water, so we have started fishing 
together which was something I didn't really do before. 

I've also had to take a hiatus from doing lots of backpacking trips and turn 
that energy towards being a car camping family. These things all have their own 
rewards in different ways. 

Also, I frequent swap meets in the area when they come about, and I've started 
taking the whole family instead of going by myself. My 3 year old loves them.

Also, slightly off topic, I would say 95% of my riding lately is just commuting 
to work and back. But my wonderful wife gave me a pass last night to go out for 
a ride. I rode a local hiking trail on my Bridgestone MB-2 and was gone for 
about one hour. Less than 5 miles total. I was amazed how much fun can be had 
even on short rides. So maybe that is something you guys could work out. Best 
of luck!

If running is a possibility, I'd recommend it. A daily half hour run can be a 
really rewarding hobby. Apart from running shoes, no costly gear needed. A run 
just before bed can be a great time to get time to yourself.

Like Addison, I also collect and restore fountain pens.  I moderate 2 FB 
groups, Fountain Pen Collecting and Fountain Pen Collecting Buy-Sell-Trade. I 
currently have a Parker 51 vacumatic set, a Parker Duofold butoon filler, a 
Sheaffer Crest lever filler and a Sheaffer Sovereign rod vac filler set to 
restore for friends.  Good bad weather day stuff.

Spoon carving, growing food in your backyard, learning to play music and
reading books.  Some of these activities can be done very inexpensively.

Enjoy,

Re: [RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

These can get crazy expensive as well but fountain pens are one of my other
passions.  Fun to find the in thrift shops/antique stores and restore them
if you like tinkering.  Also easier to hide than a new bike.  :)

[RBW] OT: non-bike hobbies

[dstein]

I feel like this has come up before but could only find a thread from 2010: 
what are your non-bike hobbies? Particularly anyone with young kids that 
suck up all your other time or involve them. I haven't been riding since an 
accident earlier this year. My wife says I need a hobby. I don't disagree. 
Bonus points if it's thrifty, because damn I've spent a lot of money at 
Rivendell over the years.
