I may have bought my last bike

Plus, biking I'm extending my social contacts so maybe someday I'll nab that brain surgeon husband who I met at a t-shirt ride one Sunday. Also an investment

Yes, its all a justification in my little warped mind. And I don't have a house or a furnace *good lord* to worry about.

Enjoy your bikes as much as you can now, fidlefreek. You never know about the future, you might be primary breadwinner for times if hubby ends up temporarily unemployed or you end up divorced --with even a child or 4 (like a cousin of mine). Just even having 1 bike during tough times, is truly helpful.

But I agree 110% that a bike is an investment..if used well, ends up with way more benefits than a fitness club.

As for moi, no immediate plans to buy /replace another bike. I already have 3, of which 2 of them I hardly use now. (But were used well, prior to bike #3). Can see maybe a folding bike or whatever in a few years. A bike is a real investment and savings for me because we haven't had a car in decades (and don't want one either).
