    I say keep them both - I have 2 road bikes and ride both of them (ok...not at the same time! ) Especially if one of them needs some work done and I don't have the time right away. As for storage, either hang em or rack em in a spare room. As for the hubby, shrug your shoulders, look cute, and tell him it was a boo-boo but................after all, I mean, really, they're both here Now.................
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    I have the perfect arguement for you!!

    Here it is: You don't want to neglect your bike by procrastinating about taking it in because you can't bear to part with it for a few days, so you are actually protecting your investment by having two- that way no one has their maintenance put off!

    No basements in Florida, either. I sure miss that extra storage space. But when I lived in Minnesota for 39 years, ok, say 19 years on my own, I don't believe I _ever_ put a car in the garage- it was always too full of other stuff. Cars had to stay outside and be plugged in. Now in FL, garages are somewhat of a rarity. I had to buy a fancy shed to keep the bikes/mower/tools/dive equipment in, and I park under a giant oak- that's my garage. It's much prettier than a "real" one, serves as a home to a large bird, and the only thing I have to worry about is it falling over in a hurricane. If I had "real" garage, I would have to worry about a tree falling on it!

    LMAO. Cars all live parked in front of the garage (if there even is one) in my area of London. You wouldn't have a sh** show of getting a truck into our little garage - certainly wouldn't fit through the door and might well not fit lenghthwise. You could get a little hatchback in there if we cleared out the junk and the bikes (five, for three of us), but I think it's for the best that neither my flatmates nor I actually own a car.
    Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.
