Along time ago, as a young guy of 16 or 17, I read somewhere that cycling was like a coat hanger. Like a coathanger in that you could hang your whole life from it. So I might say "coat hanger". But there is this Steve Mcqueen movie "Le Mans"; not too much dialogue but this one quote stands out. When asked the question of why men race, Steve's character answers something like this: Alot of people go through life not doing anything well. To men who race, it is life. Anything that comes before or after is just waiting."

So for me, I'll say "Life".
