    Sandra, you are so BAD telling everyone to buy all these bikes!
    Why don't YOU get it?

    I think you need to join BA and go to 12 speed meetings.

    Hey, even if all these bikes were given away for FREE, we only have so much room and so much time/energy available for fixing them up. How many old bikes should one accumulate, after all?
    I envision you one day with that falling down barn full of rusting old bikes, just like that guy you visited.

    Plus, don't forget that many of us are already addicted to buying WOOL.

    I've already told Sandra that I see a business in her future:

    "Mixtes by Sandra".

    "Hello, my name is Sandra and I'm addicted to bicycles"

    Lisa, I've checked into the 12-step meetings, but there are none in my area. Maybe I can find an online one. It's a good think I'm not a smoker or much of a drinker. I just might have an addictive personality.

    oh yeah, I forgot to report. I'm so mad about that $5 rusted bike from the barn that I bought. First off, when I cleaned it, most of the paint washed off. I found out those are supposed to be some really good pedals on it. I got one off fairly easily. The other one I've sprayed with PB Blaster for a week. Even got my strapin' strong son to try it. He was trying to use a wrench and a "cheater bar" and it popped off and him in the cheek. I told him to forget it. That pedal is not going anywhere.

    What happened to "financing my addiction?"

    To finance my addiction, I'd have to work more. If I work more, I'd never have time to admire and ride my bike. It's a vicious cycle.

    I just bought more shoes and more wool this week. I know DH is trying hard to restrain himself from commenting. What a man.

    (of course, he is always getting some bike part or another in the mail...so perhaps it evens out a little- though I think my stuff costs more)

    I'm so thankful I don't need wool. I DO love shoes though.
