Anyone else suffer from this?

Seriously though, it is an addiction, we joke about it but it's for real. This is something @chitown Posted the last time this topic came up. It explains it all brilliantly. We're all just trying to fill a hole here, some of us have deeper holes than others. Don't click on the link if you don't like bad words.

Selling stuff.....sounds like an interesting concept! V/r Shawn

It's not for the weak of bike.

I don't feel so bad about my 7 bikes now.
It feels much worse for me because I live in a small condo in the city.

Any more than the 7 and I don't have room to work on them anymore.

Do you have any creative racks/storage systems? I'll be moving in the coming months, and my next house, I want some nice looking, but functional bike storage.

Before the pandemic, I had 6 bikes. Now, I have 17; a friend is going to give me two more, and next weekend, I'm going to extract an 85 Ross Mt. Washington from my buddy's outdoor collection, before the forest eats it.

I'll be looking for homes for some of them, but I'm being selective about who gets them. Maybe I shouldn't be so selective on the bike's next keeper? I just don't want them neglected, after I put time, and sometimes, blood into resurrecting them.

Quitting is easy, I've done it dozens of times.

I know I have a bike problem , but like most of my problems I thought I could handle it. I recently lost one of my storage units and had to cram all my bikes into what space I had left. I said no more projects till I move some out or find another storage spot. That week I brought home 5 more bikes. I have purchased 2 more bikes after that. last night I proclaimed out loud to myself that no more bikes unless I make room. Yet first thing this morning I'm back at it searching CL and the Cabe for possible bikes to purchase. I know I'm not alone in suffering from this condition. Has anyone given a name to what I suffer from?

I'm moving in a couple of months, stopped buying stuff so there'd be less to move. Except for that great deal on a frame. And the bike currently on it's way

I used to be like that, but this summer I started working in a bike shop close to full time, and now ive been a bit more picky with my purchases
