I have a confession.

[bicyclulz]

Dear Sandra and TE'ers:

I understand what it is like to have more than one bike. Actually, I understand what it is like to have 9 bikes...

yes...9 BIKES

Please go to this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Bf1JKFzWDQ



Here is the breakdown on the bikes you see on the video:

1) My daughter's bike (she's getting a rad looking Specialized HotRock in HOT PINKthis christmas!! You can go to: http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=32267 and enlarge in PINK if you're interested:-P)
2) Our Trek T900 tandem. We swapped out the nubby mountain bike wheels and had roadie wheelz put on so we could go moar faster!
3) My FUJI Finest 2.0 in Pink
4) BF's Hardtail GIANT Yukon MTB with upgraded components
5) BF's Cannondale (1993) ST600 Touring Bike that he shined up and made pretty. Now used for commuting.
5) Mongoose Tag-A-Long
6) BF's GIANT TCR-2
7) Late 80's Fixed Gear Miata
8) Late 80's Raleigh Capri(?) that the BF fixed up for me (it was mad rusty and not lovely at all). Her name is Steelzilla
9) NOT FEATURED: Panasonic RoadFrame that is resting at the foot of our bed.

**please note that there is a shot of the Pinarello Prince on the computer screen where the BF indulges in most of his bike p0rn**

Since that room that all the bikes live in is our [B]150 SQ . FT [B] back room in our 900 SQ FT home, there are just sacrifices that need to be made--hence the frame that lives in our bedroom that will one day become a neat little fixed gear.

I just thought that this post was awesome because you guys are right---you can never really have too many....at least that is what I tell myself everytime the BF brings a new toy home.

Nothing Vintage.....yet.....

Thank you. I feel so normal and healthy now. My confession was only concerning mixtes. I didn't mention my Trek 1000 or DH's Trek Pilot.

5 bikes .... 2 people.... = 2 1/2 bikes per person. Not bad at all.

Hey Sandra!

I figged that it was about the mixtes but I noticed the convo veering towards how many bikes can you cram in a house! I think that the more you have the more options you get...kind of like shoes...!!

I think your confession is amazing and awesome! Keep collecting :-)

We have 8 bikes *in the house* - somehow, I thought we'd renovate the detached garage and put some in there, but it doesn't feel secure enough somehow (either from weather or theft). So....4 in the living room, 1 in the dining room and three in the extra bedroom.

AHHHHH...It *IS* an illness.....

And I really want at least 2 more.....

All of my bikes are now out of the house. THANKYOUVERYMUCH. They only stayed in when they were brand new. Two are hanging in the garage and three are in a greenhouse/storage room. We are lucky to have a very large storage room.

I don't know if I could do that.
I like just seeing them there.

I can't. I like to see them (they're pretty enough to be art )

Plus, somehow it makes me feel better to know they're safe - even if I can't be riding).

I'm probably nuts. Or sleep deprived...
