"When we could just be out riding, and not thinking about how our rides might be better"
These are **not** mutually exclusive. For example, I have 2 toddlers, so I have plenty of time that I can't be riding but can afford some attention to research or satisfy curiosity about new parts and tech, or read/watch interesting biking stories.
Even before the kids, I can't recall a single time I didn't ride because I was somehow _too busy_ looking at or buying new parts. However, I can definitely think of times that I couldn't ride because of bad parts that could have been prevented by \_more\_ "thinking about how my ride might be better".
