New Here - Just Bought 2nd Bike - Addicted?

[TxDoc]

5 bikes?
Now I understand why my boyfriend wants to buy two new bicycles this Summer: he only owns four...

Buying bikes and bike stuff is good for the economy.

Hmmm... We are at three a piece right now. Well, will be when DH's Kona Jake arrives next week. I am wanting a cruiser trike next year when the new grocery store opens and maybe another roadie in a couple years. Oh no, here it goes!

So, if you are addicted your are in good company. We are kinded like going to meetings but we encourage your addiction.

I don't consider someone to be addicted to buying bikes until they have at least 5 bikes.

Holding at four. I guess I need to quit looking at Craigslist to keep my addiction under control!

Hmmm, I've got 3 now. 1 older road bike (my rainy day bike), 1 zippy road bike, and 1 mountain bike. So....what bikes should one have in a family of 5?

I personally own 1, going on 2 in a week here...but if you take a look at my garage, I believe the last count was at 22? This includes about 3 frames. LOL. My dad collects/fixes up old bikes :] It's great to see peoples faces when they walk into the garage...

Well, a folding bike would put you up to four.

A time trial bike would help. Let's see, I have 1 zippy road bike, 1 mountain bike, 1 touring bike. I guess I need the time trial bike and, hmmmm, how does one get up to 5? Wouldn't really use a folding bike. Probably wouldn't use a hybrid. I'm not sure I can get there from here. I've been drooling over the Trek and Jamis websites (a Madone or a Xenith Pro), but if I did it, I'd have to sell the 5200. I think I'd better drive hours and hours to get a professional fitting, and then wait a couple of years.

2 bikes - why 2 bikes are barely enough to get by!

Skierchickie: A mixte would help you get to five!

[Skierchickie]

Ooh! Good thinkin', Uforgot! I knew there was a way!

[KatiePickle]

Picked up the bike yesterday! I need to go back to the bike shop to get some narrower bars and that saddle is like a brick, but other than that, just what I wanted in a commuter!

LOL! I can just see me on a pocket bike. I would look like a Shriner riding a mini scooter.
