Just picked up yet another Craig's list deal on a second recumbent bike, bringing my personal total up to 4 bikes--5 if you count the tandem--6 if you count the mountain bike I've loaned my son and am probably never going to see again. Dh has 3 bikes and our garage is starting to look like a bike shop. Each of the bikes has some special quality that the others don't have and is absolutely indispensable. None of them (except the tandem) was very expensive. A couple of them--including the new recumbent were older bikes that had essentially never been ridden and cost a fraction of what a new bike with similar components would cost. So I guess I'm asking for validation of this apparently compulsive behavior...
