Oh, so, nothing satisfies you. I didn't say I was mountain biking. I was cycling on a mountain bike in city conditions because I only owned a mountain bike and I was happy to get some exercise that way.

But you want to insist I cannot be content with my life or if I am, I clearly must somehow be behaving badly.

You also cannot safely mountain climb while imbibing alcohol and any number of other things. Not everyone feels the need to do "reckless" things in order to feel content.

Well, most people do not consider "mountain biking" to be anything done on a mountain bike. If I sit on a trainer in my living room on my mountain bike, I am not mountain biking.

Mountain biking was an example of a hobby that is very difficult to pursue unless you have child care arrangements, whether it is day care, a baby sitter, or only while a partner has free time on a weekend.

I don't even mountain bike. I'm very confused how you're reading so much into the example, and simultaneously not by saying riding your bike in the city is what I was getting at.

That link wasn't provided to argue that I could "mountain bike." It was provided to answer your question about whether I was actually raising children or not.

I provided that link as the lowest effort, least argumentative means to show that I have already answered that question in this very discussion. And it's sort of annoying that you are turning this into a big deal because you clearly assume I am supposed know that googlryas and oh_sigh are the same person without telling me that because you already stated it once elsewhere:

Posting on another account because I'm rate limited. Sorry dang.

Yes, actually, a 3 year old and a 1 year old.
