Like the title! I want to cultivate some helpful skills but do so gradually, as a hobbyist. Tempted to get into lockpicking, haha.

Tinkering on bicycles has given me a surprising amount of cross-transferrable skill as to maintenance or building a lot of (simple) mechanical systems and how forces work on them even outside of the bicycle world.
Oh, good idea!
Bike work, especially refurbishing older ones, is really good at building lots of useful skills. Plus, you can ride a bike to get cardio once you finish. I really enjoy exploring random trails and single tracks on an all terrain bike (bigger tires/no suspension), and it helps with developing and testing navigation practices and fits with many of the other outdoors/hiking related suggestions like botany and foraging.
