I was just reading a post on a biking forum and people were listing all the bikes they'd owned. I thought it was interesting to see that some had 30 or more bikes in 20 years, whilst some had only had 2 or three. I guess I was about average with my list, but I can easily see that it is not average compared with the normal population. Let's not think about the car that I could have bought with the money, but instead consider how much fun I've had with them and that they have get me in better shape mentally and physically than any car ever could.

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of blogging trainers that I have had - I think the list may be shorter than W's bike list.

I'm not sure that 'sexy' & 'bike' should ever be in the same sentence but what do I know!

The odd sexy bike could feature on a number of blogs.
ReplyDeleteIf you can't see that a bike can be sexy then you need to look harder. :-)
