Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

I'm just getting into cycling and I'm super lucky to have gotten my dad's old tri bike for free. He had it all kitted out and it's pretty well perfect for me. It was in pristine shape until I wrecked it a couple times. One of them requiring 24 stitches.

So I guess that's the most expensive hobby I've had - not in terms of financial cost, but definitely in terms of blood drawn!

Protip if you're not used to race bikes: they can be a lot twitchier than you might be used to!
