I dont want to bring this up, but I think I'm addicted to biking. all types of biking. especially freeride and downhill. I sit at home and look at pictures of bikes all day, watching videos, looking at which ones I can buy, selling my personal things just to buy bikes. is it a serious thing? I know it sounds funny, but I'm worried about my future. Mostly the money factor. I dont drink, I dont do drugs and never will do both, but I'm more worried about getting older and not having any money because I spent it all on bikes. what do you guys think? I'm not really a bike hoarder, I'm more into riding, owning, and fixing bikes, I'm an enthusiast, and idk if I'm taking it too far. I daydream for hours, if not all day, about either riding, about the bikes themselves, I see mirages of bikes sometimes, like in clouds, or when I'm laying on my bed stare at the ceiling i connect the dots and see bike parts, frames, etc.

I have been watching drug inc. videos this morning and the way people feel about there drugs is like the way I feel about bikes. I dont think its so much the fact of "spending money I dont have" its more like I'll own something that means a lot to me that last week I would NEVER sell, say a guitar, then I'll be like on pinkbike buy/sell section and be wanting to trade or sell that guitar to buy that bike... is it a problem?

Maybe I should work at a bike shop?

 

[jonKranked]

my advice to you is to start drinking heavily

 

[wiscodh]

get another addiction, like meth

 

[tubs26]

haha totally, that will fix my, uh situation lol

 

[tubs26]

haha I barley have enough for a decent bike, how am I suppose to come up with $70-$300 a day

 

[Uncle Cliffy]

Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life, that there's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you here. Do you know what I'm talking about?

 

[tubs26]

I know exactly what your saying. spot on, that's how I feel and I cant describe it, give me the red pill.

[canadmos]

Try it now?

Fund your addiction by having relations with very large middle-aged women.
The way I see it this could go a couple of ways but should at least take care of your financial woes.
If your married this could also free up more time to ride.
Ummmm ,the bike that is.

 

[tubs26]

I'm not married, probably never will be, will probably die a virgin, but at least I'll have a stellar bike!

 

[boogenman]

Bikes are for kids, talk about something relevant to the forum please.

Meth is cheaper. Trust me. Running up a credit card balance on bike parts is the *least* of your worries.... First you do that, then you take a pay cut to work at a bike company (but somehow that CC balance disappears), then you even give up that stable (monotonous/frustrating) gig to start out on your own.

Screw meth, we're into cheap hookers and good blow territory here...

 

[eric strt6]

Acid is cheaper, just ask PSP

 

[dante]

Just means you like bikes....... *and* goats.

 

[Quo Fan]

WTF is this?!?!?!?!? A BIKE DISCUSSION in the lounge?!?!?!?!?!

This kind of stuff isn't allowed around here. Take to the proper forum, noob.

 

[tubs26]

what other section does this follow? plus some of the other threads are about bikes too, its a forum website about...bikes! so why are you surprised to see a thread about bikes?

 

[mandown]

It's an addiction, certainly. When I was in the hospital bed paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breathe on my own, I still watched a ton of bike videos, even though the bike crash is what put me in that condition.

 

[tubs26]

WOW that's harsh! I would probably do the same. wow that's something to think about, crashing and being paralyzed, and only wanting to go do more.

You could CERTAINLY have worse addictions... just ask PSP or Ride Monzie... although monz claims he isn't "addicted" so maybe don't ask him

I think you'll be alright kiddo, keep on riding, and dreaming of riding, and don't let anyone else's opinions of what you should/could be doing hold you back.

 

[OGRipper]

You are lucky to be passionate about something that can be so rewarding on so many levels. Some people never find anything even close. Don't be afraid of it, feed it. The rest will come.

 

[tubs26]

ALRIGHT! haha fine with me, thanks.

 

[eric strt6]

yeah you could be a sicko like me that gets a charge out of working gnarly nasty auto or moto crashes that take my skills to the limit trying to get the injured extricated, triaged, and still breathing to the trauma center. Damn I love my job.

For the love of god someone rep cliff for me.

Perfect.

 

[Austin Bike]

Call in van vonderan.

I went from 4 bikes to 3, will be swapping out my backup 26HT for a 29FS one of these days. A 26, a 29 and a commuter/bar bike, that is all I need. Instead of obsessing on the bikes, obsess on RIDING them.

 

[eaterofdog]

I'm going with the meth suggestion. High quality meth though, pure shards.

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

I('ll watch this
