So what floats you boat when you are not on your bikes?
I'd really like to start dinghy sailing again, but not really going to have the means to do that for a couple of years. Currently my other hobby is airsoft which generally means on Sundays I am not working I go and shoot my friends in the woods so am not normally able to do bike things on a Sunday. I used to do a lot of PC gaming but not so much anymore.
What do you lot do? :-)

Where to begin, so many hobbies.

Mainly I paint and draw, making art for games and stuff. Besides that I also participate in medieval reenactment, which means I practice hitting people with real steel swords and axes but "safely". And then do a bit of writing because I like to build fictional worlds and I'm a Dungeon Master on tuesdays. Finally I like to try inventing things, working on a type of bullpup gun mechanism these days.

Awesome mate, that artwork is aces. I used to do a bit of LARPing when I was younger which was fun. Reenactment looks a right giggle, I went to the reenactment of the Battle of Hastings last year, was great fun to watch! I am partial to the bullpup design, my latest airsoft rifle is a bullpup:

Yeah reenactment can be brutal in the larger events, I'm mostly in it because it's a good workout and it's not football, and as a bonus the equipment serves as a visual reference for my art. It's less of a LARP thing than it is "living history".
I have an airsoft M4 and a G36k. I wanted an L85 but they are a bit scarce. Not that I actively do much airsofting these days. That's a sweet rifle tho, spring?
 
I wish I had more time for hobbies, I feel like I’m forever doing gardening/yard and house maintenance and cleaning the shop. I’d like to spend more time building my cars/trucks for the drag strip, I have a few ongoing projects. On and off I try to get in better shape, seeing so many people with health issues or worse this will become my priority.
 
I skillfully avoid gardening, house chores and maintenance by having hobbies that are far better for my soul than a vacuum cleaner! :D
 
Hmm...if I'm not riding I generally practice videography and videogames on a common basis. I dabble in other things from time to time but not enough to be considered a hobby.

Personally enjoy videography a lot more than videogames these days though. Gives me the opportunity to go out and explore, meet new people and work on practical marketable skills.
 
I've had quite a few hobbies throughout the years. I like to try different sports so at the moment Snowboarding, gaming when I have spare time and I'm into RC and scale models. Currently I'm out of RC's, but will probably get another one in the next few months as I'm missing the hobby, also hoping to jump on the electric scateboard wagon, that seems fun

RC cars are a lot of fun. Not a cheap hobby though I bet?

The two hobbies that take up most of my time that isn't spent on the bike are leather working and chucking tomahawks. Picked up a few new pine rounds this weekend for targets. Love that fresh pine scent!

A few years ago I was in my buddies wedding party. We wore grey suits and brown shoes, but I didn't own a brown belt. So I decided to make my own. Turns out though the suits we rented didn't have belt loops, just those stupid slider adjustments on the hips. The demo at the shop had belt loops. I wore the belt anyway. BUt I enjoyed the process and also needed a few other pieces like a sissy bar bag for the bike. Saved a ton of money doing it myself and now I make stuff for people on the holidays or birthdays out of leather.
