Legislation.

Ill health.

There are no other reasons worth considering

I think the only reason I would give up bikes was if I wasn't fit to ride them anymore.Maybe I would change my mind if I had a near fatal accident,I know some people who have,but I doubt it.I've never had much money but I've always managed to have a bike on the road.Bikes are just part of who I am! I might not ride as often as I used to but if I'm not riding I'm working on them,reading about them,watching them,planning trips on them etc,etc!
My ex-wife said I loved my bike more than her....I guess she was right! :laugh:

If I could fly unaided like superman I'd probably lose interest in biking...

Maybe if I got a great job somewhere I could snowboard every weekend. But I would probably hanker after it.

I'd just get fed up with the hassle if they brought in too many stupid laws that stopped me riding what I want, where I want and (within reason) how I want to ride it.

I'll have been riding bikes for 40 years in March but if I was 16 again I wouldn't bother starting.

Getting bored of bikes or a new hobby could make me give up. I've had plenty of hobbies over the years that I was fully committed to at the time but ultimately I moved on. More recently I started counting how long was spent cleaning and repairing my enduro bikes so figured it was time to move on and don't miss it.
Having done a couple of tandem paraglide's I could really get into that.
