I love to play golf, I enjoy being outside on a beautiful course with good friends. I also love to get on the lake and fish. One of my other hobbies is cooking, I love good food and enjoy cooking for guests as well.
 
I've resumed my adult piano lessons. One motivator for practice is quarterly recitals with other students.

I'm really into a racket sports like tennis and pickleball. Pickleball is a recent discovery in the last year and something that I can play with my wife. It is played on a surface about 1/2 the size of a tennis court. Lot of fun!
 
What "Other" Hobbies Do You Enjoy?

Family, guitar playing, golf, biking, cooking and a PhD when I'm otherwise bored.

I live near a 32-mile long dedicated bike trail. It follows a trout and salmon river. Deer, wild turkeys, coyotes, rattle snakes, and every few years, a stray mountain lion.
 
I was into golf (average of 100 rounds a year) and aqua hobby before I got into audio.

still has a 1,360 gal aquarium with 10 adult asian arowanas, rarely golfing since my best bud and golf partner died in 2006

is car detailing considered a hobby? I sometimes spend an entire day doing this
 
Lets see, fishing all kinds be it freshwater, saltwater either fly and/or conventional. Landscape Photography, making wild attempts at Golf, classic cars with 3 other partners. Walking on the beach with the wife

Super cool! (Even though I'm not sure I would dare to use locking pedals on that thing).

Au contraire, Locking pedals are almost mandatory. Without being locked in, the riders foot can easily fall off on the down stroke. At which point they run over their leg and crash. Quite humorous to those watching. Not so much for the hapless rider. Without being locked in the rider needs to expend a lot of energy and attention keeping their feet on the pedals. That is not efficient or safe.

My bent is horrible climbing but wicked on the downhills. I call it my land luge.

You see, I did not fully understand the concept. But I do agree that on my Cannondale I would not like to bike without locking pedals.

I’ve dabbled in many hobbies like shooting sports, salt water coral/fish aquariums, photography, motorcycles, cars, watch collecting and a few others but life long hobbies are Audio and building Radio Control models such as Helicopters, Airplanes, cars, etc. I love to assemble and “wrench” on model stuff and electronics in general. Since my audio rig is in the basement, I enjoy music while building models :)
 
Here is the readers digest version:

I have worked with people In the music industry for the past 33 years. I buy all the "souvenirs" they have acquired over the course of their careers (Gold Records, Autographed Guitars etc) and I find new homes for the ones I don't want. Over 9000 Gold Records to date and counting. You can check out my spoils on the Facebook page RIAA AWARD COLLECTORS.

I have a collection of over 5000 NFL Football games on DVD going back to the early 1970's...many complete with all commercials. I had Hundreds of games from the 1970's/Early 80's (On VHS) smuggled out of the CBS Vaults in New Jersey.

I am an avid Fantasy Football Player. Need to fill a spot in a competitive online draft league? Send me a PM with details.

I have lots of Stereo Equipment that I have never used or taken out of the sealed boxes. Its neater that way.

I collect Homeless (Feral) Cats and try to domesticate them.

In the past....I owned a Baseball Card/Comic Book store in the 1980's located on the infamous Route 9 (Born To Run) in New Jersey.
 
Primary Hobbies are Audio and Fitness.

I am going to start Kayaking on Puget Sound, Washington USA.
