What will the neighbors think?!

At least twice now, upon seeing the contents of our garage, we've had someone (a contractor, the postal carrier, etc.) ask if we're storing bikes for friends. We don't have the heart to tell them that there's 4 more in the basement and that they're all ours!

we built an addition to hold bikes and rafts....

Wow, 13 bikes..

We disperse our bikes across 2 cities: 8 bikes.

Our count includes 3 unused/outgrown bikes, including DH's childhood BMX. He refuses to part with that. We need to sell DS's cute little Redline Conquest 24, too, since he's now big enough for adult bikes.

So it's really more like 10 bikes for 3 people. Does that really seem less insane, though?

Hey, it's down from 4.33 bikes per person to 3.33 bikes per person!

And here I was worried about moving two or three bikes...

When we moved 7 years ago, we had 9-10 bikes for the 2 of us. Two went to my son a few years later, and one was my younger son's bike that he eventually took. I took 4 of them on the bike rack at a time (we moved 9 miles). I also took all of our clothes and breakable items I did not want going in the truck.
We only have 4 bikes now.

have no fear- we have (at last count......) 17 bikes including a vintage high-wheeler..... also several kayaks hanging inside the garage on pulleys (: Our neighbors do think we are crazy.....but it also might have to do with the equally loony collection of guitars, pianos and saxophones...I guess most "normal" people would have bought a bigger, fancier house!

We get comments and we only have a mere 6 bikes. Clearly we need to step up a bit.

I have 4 bikes right now. I love when someone is shopping for a bike and asks me what kind I have. When I start naming them all, they get this funny look. Well, my road bike is a .... and the hybrid is a .... and.....

Personally, I'd be glad there weren't 13 motorcycles moving in next door! Good luck with the home buying

I also have 4. I had a chat with someone like this, recently. They saw my 2012 mileage and said "ahhh...you must be a roadie." I said, yes...and a CXer/mtn biker/fat biker.
