What % of any given day do you spend thinking about your bike?

[Nxkharra]

My son who is rider just asked me this question.
I must admit the % is really high. Specially after I purchased an ebike.
Sometime others are talking and I am day dreaming about riding...
What is your % number?

Translation, please.

What are you talking about?

 

[Nxkharra]

I think about bike ride and biking issues 60-70% of my day.
Don’t know how else to say it.
If it doesn’t make sense ignore and sorry I asked and take valuable time of the forum.

I think I understand now, but, really, there was no way to get that out of your original post.

I ride at least an hour a day most days, so that's about 6% of hours I'm awake. Hard to say how much more I think about riding, because my mind is dealing with a lot of things most of the time, but let's triple the ride time. Around 18% seems about right I guess, which seems high to me, but when I add in maintenance and just seeing the bike on the rack on my truck all the time, maybe I ride or think riding or think about my bike 25% of the time.

I get it now. You said, "what % of to me". Instead of "to me" you meant to type "time".

Good work deciphering the code. I think about eBikes/bikes a lot, all I did today was ride to the bike shop, BS'd for a couple hours, bought another ebike, rode home and worked on it setting it up for a couple hours, went for a ride, had dinner, now I'm surfing the bike forums, I always finish the nights of watching bike or war documentaries until 1-3.00 am.

Today was an exception. I'll normally take a two hour ride then spend another hour or two working on my bikes, visiting the forums, hanging around the bike shop, or reading about bikes. I'm retired and it's a hobby with me now, I don't golf, drink, smoke, do drugs, have girlfriends, buy cars, fly, volunteer, etc.

I spend maybe an hour a week looking for routes to ride. I spend some time looking for accessories as well.
Then I do maybe 8 - 12 hours a month on the bike.

I was careless in stating my question.
Also English is not my first language.
Sorry guys. Thanks for being Paitent with me.

No problem, it's my first language and I struggle with it.

Because I believe it’s very important to lead a balanced and healthy lifestyle, I rigorously discipline myself to think about cycling no more than 90% of any given day.

 

[Nxkharra]

Haha. Love this answe. This is what I thought is happening in this crazy bike lifestyle.

Am always looking at Google Earth and Google maps to relive rides that I’ve taken, or dream up new rides.

I think about riding or my bike whenever works starts to suck so yeah,pretty much all the time.
