Wow, now I'm feeling both jealous AND inadequate with just my one bike.

I like to think of my bike as a general practitioner in a world of specialists. It's a touring bike that I've now used for touring, commuting, charity rides and one tiny triathlon. Every time I think of getting a speedy road bike I hear my depression-era father in my head telling me that what I have is just fine for my needs. And I'm STILL sitting on a generous REI giftcard my sisters gave me back in January, thinking I could use it for a fun cruiser or a partial payment on a road bike. I can't make up my mind, and Dad's voice keeps telling me what I have is fine, so why would I spend money on something I don't need?
