I love my bikes, they are on a wall stand in the living room; I refer to them as the 'artwork'

In an effort to become one with my bike I recently brought it into my bedroom.
I think it worked.Last edited by Zen; 05-07-2007 at 08:06 PM.

I've been oogling my road bike since I snapped my clavicle. Just admiring the machine, apppreciating how my body can become part of it, looking forward to getting back in the saddle. I won't just put it away, even though I can't ride it for months. I want to tune it, feel it, remember it, look forward to it.

I really don't admire it as much as when I first got it, but it is still beautiful. It takes me places my car can't go. I had just got done with a 30mile ride leaned it up against the house, went to my car and turned around and it was like "wow" that really is a nice bike (also realized I keep that saddle much higher then the bars, if I had a flat stem I'd be in serious pain.). She often doesn't get the credit it deserves because it isn't a high end full out $5,000+ race bike. But she thinks she is. I felt so bad yesterday I was riding up this steep hill and got caught in a big gear. I shifted down twice and her derailer didn't sound happy about it. And I didn't want to change rings because I may drop the chain. So instead of making her take the hard gear changes I made my legs do the work. Boy did it hurt.
