The same way I might listen to music, but I have no desire to play any instrument. Too much work. A hobby should be fun and something you enjoy.
After having some experience teaching drama to young teens and doing role playing in my counseling classes, the thought did cross my mind that I might enjoy acting. But, again, I don't want to spend the time away from sports or the time away from DH. So I enjoy the theatre vicariously.
Hope you find some hobby Crankin later, that is non-cycling oriented. And absolutely agree that a hobby needs to be fun and enjoyable. Acting..no one has mentioned this yet here. Now, that to me, is abit of work, ie. memorizing lines.

Even though I'm neglectful in certain hobbies at this time, I view the latent, dormant passions that are non-cycling, as important later in the future to restoke those passions again. For the times, I can't cycle. A form of mental health insurance for the future.
