I think what you ride can play a part, and having shop discounts can allow a bike nerd to tinker that bit more.
Do you ride mtb?
Do you race?
Most mechanics I've met have some sort of project/bike/tinkering stuff going on outside of work that's where the real quirky and bizarre stuff is going on. Having the job just facilitates this a bit more.
