Subject: [CR]One word summary

Weltanschauung.

"A comprehensive conception or apprehension of the world especially from a specific standpoint". (Merriam Webster Online Dictionary)

To ride, to preserve, to renovate, to update, to restore to original, to hang on the wall, to ride hard and throw into the back of the truck, to tirelessly ferret out the period correct down to the derailleur cables, to purchase a modernist KOF with indexed/new everything (from your LBS, of course), to be friends with carbon/alu/ti riders while gently leading them to appreciate the crafts and tools of bygone days, all of these are adjacent facets of the same stone.

I AM LOOKING FOR A SINGLE WORD! Heck, you couldn't have answered that question any better than me! Geez, I need a single word and I get poetic stuff.

Ok Ok, I admit it was a hard assignment. Now class, I will give you an extra day before you have to turn in your work. Now, the assignment is, provide one word for what we don't like to call a "hobby". Get it? Any questions?

(Ha Ha!)
