They've all been customized in some fashion. Even if I got insurance proceeds for a stolen or damaged bike, I wouldn't want to go to the trouble of buying a new bike to replace it(assuming that I could even buy one) and then customizing it to my specs.
    I also agree.

    ^ what they said .

    A manager at work once asked if I'd sell him "one of your extra bikes".

    1) Dude, I don't have extra bikes. I love them all.
    2) Dude. I'm 4'11. You are 6 sumthin'? You could use my bike as a roller skate.

    I wonder if renting a bike would imply some sort of contract - and if they biff it on the bike who pays? Would you be liable? Everybody is so litigious these days.

    No, I'd never rent my bikes. I would lend one to a friend but never to a complete stranger. What would you have for collateral? I don't want their children!

    Never.

    I might have rented out my Jamis (seems more like the type of bike a renter would want), but not my Kuota or my Guru.
