Hang it from the ceiling. Mount it on the wall and call it art. Or, if you can bear to part with it, find it a loving home

I love these responses.
With my old 80's bike that I couldn't bear to sell, I debated keeping it at my folks' place or donating it to the Africa project. I ended up giving it to a friend of mine who is just getting into cycling (i.e., getting sick of gas prices)
My 70's era bike I am restoring. Ebay and Sheldon Brown (snif) are my new best friends.
My boyfriend debated taking the fork, mounting it onto the wall, and turning it into one of those fancy wine bottle openers. Then the chain becomes jewelry, gears become belt buckles and picture frames...

I use an old 10-speed whenever I go downtown for the day since I don't worry about it getting stolen.

Thankyou for the ideas and suggestions. I will keep thinking about what I am going to do with and about the bike. Something will come to me I am sure.
As has been stated in many threads around here "..one can never have to many bicycles, right?" I guess I fit into that category.
