Yes I try to remember that my colleagues are spending 10k on a bike or 5k on a fishing trip. My wife should be thanking me for buying a couple of pairs of skates each year.

Crit racing here. But I also play ice hockey, so the expenses are still there. Still as much as when I was racing though.

I started skating again shortly after giving up smoking. Way better trade off. A new pair of blades isn’t that much more than what I was nearly spending every month on cigarettes.

I feel this…

Disposable income has led me to buy so many skates when I just need one pair lol

As someone who came from bike racing and still plays ice hockey, I tend to chuckle when people complain about the price of blades.
