Yes, but you buy (at least) 10 times as much bike stuff as any normal mortal.
When it is coming in those sort of quantities it is just more boxes.
What have you bought for the bike today ?

Noting the above comment I picked up a Dura Ace 9000 crankset today for the NeilPryde Nazaré. It's cost a bit more than I'd hoped but the chainrings on the current Ultegra 6800 one are nearing replacement point.
That means the Nazaré will have a full Dura-Ace 9000 groupset and pedals, complimenting the recent Thompson Capella arrival which has the same.
I've been slowly trying to upgrade components on everything and, when it's warm / dry enough to empty the parts shed, will have a clear-out of parts I'm no longer going to use.

What you talkin bout Willis.
Did sell it to MrsF as a 'mindfulness exercise', i.e. wheel building.
Due in next hour so I'll squeeze the box in the Aygo along with 4 cats

They're quite thin, but I'm running them tubeless so the occasional puncture doesn't stop me, as long as I keep the sealant topped up. Mine are 38mm - I'm not sure narrower versions are 'tubeless-ready'. The plus is a light, fast-rolling, wide & comfortable tyre (I used them for a full SR series last year).
I originally used them with tubes. That wasn't quite so good, as a couple of punctures (on the way home from Paris) did require a stop & repair.
Edit: 38mm not 35 as I first said.

I left my clear 'cycling glasses' at my sister's house in Devon on my recent visit. Conditions back up here have been too overcast for sunglasses so I ordered these clear ones, which arrived yesterday.
As you can see, they are actually industrial safety glasses. They do the same job as the cycling equivalent but for much less money!

A nice pair of quick release skewers to match the colour of the Trek MTB.. Cost nearly as much as my first new bike (in 1976!).
The wallpaper and carpet? Yes yes, I know... that's why it's a bike store!

Two Schwalbe Marathon Racers with inner tubes in 622 x 30 for £36 delivered from bankruptbikeparts.
I'm hoping these will be reasonable tyres for light touring this summer - tougher than the Schwalbe Ones I used, and wore out last summer, and lighter that the G-Ones I have been using through winter.

Thanks! The Cove decals are going on my hardtail, perhaps one of the smaller Race Face decals, somewhere discreet as well. Not sure about the rest.
