Oh my, let's see if I can remember them all:
1. Blue Schwinn with upright handle bars and training wheels - my first "two-wheeler"!
2. Sparkley pink "stingray" style with banana seat - way cool!
3. Red/white/blue Sears 10 speed with drop bars in high school
....big gap....no riding in colloge...how stupid of me to miss that opportunity!
4. Steel Nishiki (not sure of model) hubby bought for my birthday in the mid-80s (sold, too big)
5. Centurian Dave Scott "Ironman" 12 speed (or 14 speed??) with 24" front wheel (copying Terry). Fit great but only a double chainring, too hard for me to climb with (sold).
6. Santana Vision tandem (stoker) - great fun, rode with DH for several years incl. my first century, then sold.
7. Ryan Double-Vision recumbent - fun but 10' long and pretty slow (sold when we moved onto a gravel road that we could not ride it on easily)
8. Easy Racers Toureasy recumbent - again fun, but heavy (38 lbs!) and too slow a climber for me (sold)
9. Terry Isis - first single road bike in many years, loved it, but only use it on the trainer now as I got bit by the upgrade-itis bug and had to have carbon. Rode my first solo century on this bike.
10. Santana Team AL tandem - DH and I discovered we no longer enjoyed tandeming as much now that I was used to riding solo (control issues). Our quickest sale - we didn't even have it for a year. We got in on a trade-in of both our Toureasy recumbents. It sure was fast, though!
11. Aegis Swift - fantastic carbon road bike - bought the frame on eBay and had it built up with my choice of components (still have).
12. Bike Friday Pocket Crusoe with drop bars - bought for touring and utility rides - great bike (still have). Did a long self-supported tour riding it in fall 2004 with nary a problem.
13. Novara Bonita hardtail mountain bike - cute ride but heavy (32 lbs) - introduced me to mountain biking, which I am now enjoying (still have)
14. Titus Racer X full-suspension mountain bike - just bought used on ebay and should get next week. Excited!!!
Wow....that's a lot of bikes.
