It really is a lifestyle thing.

Workdays and weekends revolve around it;

Vacations are spawned from it;

No Happy Hour is complete without it;

Blend of technical and just balls-out stimulate both side of the brain;

Even when injured (as I currently am) you can still build bikes (as I currently am), read about biking, plan trips, etc;

Most of all, it just plain rocks.
