Golf, sailing, birdwatching (might tie in with photography), mountain biking.
Sailing - Never appealed to me.
Birdwatching - Again never appealed to me
Mountain biking - I have a mountain bike but prefer to ride it on the flat. Hopefully I can get out more when the 'good weather comes'.

I need another hobby. Photography, playing guitar and chess just isn't filling the gap.
Suggests Eleven Most Unusual Hobbies for You to Consider:
1] Pooktre Art (only if you enjoy extreme tree climbing);
2] Duct Tape Art;
3] Taphophila (not if you're afraid of the dark);
4-7] Collecting Handcuffs; or Tea Bags; or Elongated Coins; or Cigar Bands;
8] Beetle Fighting (don't some black beetles still play on-line correspondence chess?);
9] Javelin Catching (Oh, Noes! Don't Ever Try This One at Home);
10] Carving Egg Shells (Nah,);
11] Noodling (Only if you like fishing with a friend, lol).

Originally posted by SuzianneIn 1971 I was transfered from Montreal to Toronto and decided that rather than having a car in TO I'd sell mine and buy a "good" bike. I bought a Peugot 10 speed. I toyed with the idea of a mountain bike and tried one but found I preferred the 10 speed. I used a bike to get around ( I lived & worked downtown) , except in the winter of course, for about 3 years. I once calculated how much I saved in comparrison to a car..I've forgotten how much but I remember it was "astronomical" and there was also the great shape it kept me in. When I needed a car I'd rent one.
The best bike for urban riding is a mountain bike.
You put as many miles in as I do and a fragile ten-speed 'road bike' just doesn't cut it.

Originally posted by SuzianneI use one for work every day and couldn't agree more. Those road irons, shrapnel and debris would tear a racer (I think that's our equivalent of a '10 gear'😉 to pieces. Not to mention they are much better hopping up kerbs 😉
