Am I an addict? Or soon to be?

I've been running and doing tri probably before some of the younger BT members were born.  Don't have a tri bike, race wheels aero helmet, etc....never have and have never been tempted.  I do have a nice carbon bike though that I bought on ebay. I like having quality cycling shorts and don't skimp when my running shoes needs replacement. Equipment with tri is kind of like golf, fly fishing, and other hobbies.  A person can spend a lot on equipment if they want, or not.  If it motivates someone to get off the couch and they can afford it that's a good thing.  I would rather spend the money I am saving on beer. 

Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over our addiction. 

If you can afford it, by all means get it.  In my opinion anything that keeps you "addicted" to a healthy lifestyle is a great thing.

Take it from Bob Saget... Bicycles are not an addiction.

Bob Saget is a filthy, foul-mouthed, comedy GENIUS. 

Wait, that sounds way too similar to what I did...Only the cycling shoes came after the bike and before the watch...And the bike was an S5 because I wasn't sure about riding in aero at the time....but in my defense...My only bike was a mountain bike at the time and I couldn't ride my new road bike without cycling shoes and I kept losing count of laps in the pool and the water is so cold up here and my old running shoes...
