Hey Crankfeet, I'll start a new thread titled: Brag about you bike collection here! I'll give a short decription of my 15 bikes!

What bikes do you have and what do you do for a living?

I'm in Medical Center near the 288 and 610, just 3 -4 miles from Herman Park, but this park can't compare to Chicago's LSD! I only have 3 bike with me while I temporarily live in Houston for my Recession proof job!

Gee, I wish I had 15 bikes, had two till my son took over my Mt bike, gotta get a new one this summer. Just got a road bike, I'd have more but I have too many other sports to distribute the funds to. If I sold my hockey gear I could buy a nice bike, but its harder to hurt others while biking.

JTE - you shouldn't feel a nuisance whan you bike on the streets. Just don't yell at those guys in the big pickups in Houston. They sometimes carry shotguns with them. You near Rice U and Hermann Park?


I don't think I have owned 15 bikes in my entire life. My alltime favorite is the guy who must speed up to get in front of you 30 feet from a stop sign. Thanks BUD(that's what they are called in Houston I think), what I really wanted was for you to make me break my rhythm then get to smell your exhaust. By the way are all 15 bikes ridden on a regular basis, what is the color of each, are any signed by a pro team rider, and do you ever forget which bike you are on while you are riding it. You know like when you pull the 9 iron thinking it is the 6?

I have one bike. A Specialized Roubaix. But I'm building up a race machine as we speak. ATM I'm doing frame research... I'm at the stage of my life when I'm prepared to spend money on performance (hey... your bike never loses fitness... ), just so I can increase my chances of hanging on to a cat 4 peloton...

My job is either: unemployed, retired, or international man of leisure... depending on how attractive the person is who asks the question.
