I'm not buying much right now - I doubt I've bought my last bike (I'm just 30), but I also doubt I'll do much adding to the fleet. They will likely be replaced as they wear out...or need it. I think I'll see significant changes in technology before I'm done riding.

We've been enjoying dinners in with friends more, riding just for the enjoyment of it, etc. We've been trying to slow our lives down, and it's working. And that's worth a LOT more to me than the latest______. That and financial security.
