I've been riding the same Cannondale road bike since right after college. I have had my eye on a beautiful carbon fiber Trek for too long now. Partly I want to reward myself when I really get pull it together. But the other part is foolish pride - I don't want to get passed while I'm riding an expensive bike. I think a little splurge might ramp up the fun. Sweet.

It's easy to think "I need exercise, it'll make me feel better" but it's easier to follow through if the the workout is it's own reward. So find a sport you like, get some great workout clothes, etc. I just bought a great new Titus Mt. Bike. Spent way too much on it but I love it am still amazed at the balance on that bike 6 months later. An investment in exercise reaps healthy dividends: more energy, longer life, less sick time.
