I felt like that about my old Saab. I got immense joy just looking at it through the living room window. At least a bike or guitar is a sunk cost once you've bought it, I suppose.
Your not married are you
No I was meaning rustyblots. I'm lucky mrs73 is supportive when it comes to me and bikes. Even though the bikes are currently in the house hanging them on wall she'd kill me.Who? Me?

Feedback sports velo wall bracketsWhere do you buy those hooks?
No , they are by the wall in my little PC room , its full of all my junky stuff which I love my wife is not too keen about it etc she has learned to tolerate itAren't you always banging your head on them?
Yes I am , my wife and son go on holiday each summer I get a bike instead of foreign holiday . 12 days in the sun about equals the cost of a bike. I have 8 road bikes now and one mountain bike and I love 'em all !!Your not married are you
Make sure you have room enough for them , that is the main thing I had to be careful about , no room for any more now but I think I have finally arrived at N , no further need for N+1 . I have a BMC SLR03 , 2006 Madone 5.5 , 2006 Madone 5.9sl , 2006 Trek 5000 TCT , Felt F55 , Felt FC , 2018 Roubaix Tiagra , 2018 Merlin Nitro Aero Dura Ace and Felt Q220 mountain bikeAh OK. I'm single so I suppose I could buy as many bikes I like if I have the funds!
Hasn't she a ton of clothes hanging in her wardrobe ? tell her she's lucky you're not out chasing women , getting constantly drunk or drugging or gambling etc. a few bikes in an innocent pursuitNo I was meaning rustyblots.

Brilliant Aurora I love itIf you're lucky you'll find someone who shares your interests, or can eventually be persuaded to. Which is why we have a house full of musical instruments and a garage full of car parts. There are at least 3 more guitars in other rooms, and a couple of trumpets somewhere. Plus youngest's 2 violins.

provided you don't get run over ! cycling will add years onto your life , wishing you happy and safe cyclingTrouble is, there are at least 3 or 4 that we don't play at all. They really need to go on eBay but you get emotionally attached to these things over the years. The irony is I am actually a very poor guitarist; I practise every day but I have no aptitude for it whatsoever.
I am new to biking but I would imagine you guys are the same - shed full of bikes, but only ride one or two. I really do need to get rid of a lot of stuff though - I don't want the kids to be left to sort our junk if we both die suddenly. I actually worry about that lol.
