Audio as a hobby


The only problem with audio and music: it a very passive hobby. Of course you could ride a stationary bike or even have sex while listening to music . But then audio/music becomes sort of secondary. So the question, do any of you have an active, non-passive hobby that is the equal to audio/music??? Just curious, or all of you just couch potatoes???

Okay...more bike talk

My bikes -- there are currently 7:

Road bike -- hand built Peter Mooney circa 1993 -- steel is real

Touring bike -- last of the handbuilt Treks, circa 1986 -- a dozen countries, countless miles, no original parts left except frame

Mountain bike -- Kona titanium frame, up to date parts as of about 1999 -- ti is great for a frame you don't want to break -- I broke my previous lugged aluminum frame

Tandem -- last of the tig-welded Santana Sovereigns -- again, steel

Folding bike -- Comotion Espresso with an S&S coupler -- fixed up as an interesting cross-bike -- had a custom builder put braze ons for cantilevers, Scott AT3 bars, friction barends, and the first generation Marzocchi 700c shock -- used it a bunch when I travelled for work, now it's 3000 miles away in my Mom's garage for the times I visit her

fixed gear -- piece of junk $100 Univega road bike with a lock wheel

beater bike -- funky painted old Rockhopper -- this is the bike that sees the most use now

I have a one year old, and I just bought a tot-trailer. Hopefully this purchase will signal the rekindling of my life on the bike.

7 bikes, 6 are steel. I guess you can see where my sentiments are.

On other fronts -- I play a lot of racquet sports -- badminton is the latest. I swim. I hike a bit. I like to sweat.

Audio passive? Do any of you dance? Not like ballroom, but more like Tom Cruise in Risky Business? I can't sit still for about half of what I play.

Oh yeah...I DJ too. Is this active or passive?
