Needs (all of the above)
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.

All of the choices, except for the "earning a living" one. Haven't figured out how to get paid to ride yet.

I wish I could, but I don't have the option. It's button style only, so try to pick the best one. I know its difficult, but you can do it. :D

OK OK.

I do use my bike for commuting, some day trips, and just cruising around town, but in reality the thing exists purely because I want one and I like riding it.

So I chose hobby.
