Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Cycling.

You can certainly do it on an 300€ bike, but who would want that if you can pay 300€ for the helmet alone.

Same problem. I have now 5 bikes:

Old, but nice city road race bike (I needed a bike...)
Nice road race bike (racing bikes are nice, let's look at high-end ones, they are surely not that expensive...)
Mountain bike (wait I cannot go to this close-by trail with my road bikes...)
Touring bike (GF: let's cycle to this remote place ... )
Triathlon bike ( here I got too ambitious... )
NOW: I want a gravel bike, they are so nice, please send help ;)

5... those are rookie numbers, you've got to pump those numbers up!

Say it with me now: N+1

If I only had somewhere to keep them…

Yeah, my pedals alone (Assioma Duo) are now worth more than an entry level bike.
