Hi. I got a question for all you bike collectors. Before I get to the question, I will give some background.

I know nothing about collecting bikes. My new brother-in-law, who I think is a grade A A-hole, is into bikes and just will not shut the hell up about them. He has over thirty of these things and he treats them like their his freaking kids. I couldn't stand the guy before. But now it's on a whole other level. I mean, seriously, what is the purpose of having more than one? Why collect bikes? You can only ride one at a time. Do you guys seriously wake up in the morning and say, "I'm going to ride a mid 30's bike today 'cause that's the mood I'm in. Or do you say, "I'm going to ride my 1960's bike today? Peace, love, dope!!" Seriously, that's my question. And if you don't ride them, why not? This turd has bikes he never will ride cause he's afraid he will lower it's value if something happens. God bless my sister for putting up with this hobby. Could be worse I guess. But I've been looking at some of this stuff you guys post on here and I think it's a little juvenile. The comments, I mean. You guys take this way too seriously. It's a bike. Ride it. It = one. Not more than one. Give me some perspective.

Wow!!!!! What demeanor and attitude to bring to a classic bicycle website


Human nature never ceases to amaze me.

If we’re being honest there is no brother of the bride. Gooseneck is really the wife that doesn’t understand her husbands addiction and she figures if he’s on the site she can disguise herself with a backstory

I'm going to go find a stamp collector website and tell them it is all stupid because I don't have an interest in stamps. I'll do coins tomorrow.

If Nutsack was a troll this thread is in the hall of fame and he deserved honors at last years 10th anniversary

The wife theory is very good too !

Guess I have to search for a site about shoes ,just so I can become a member just so I can rant about why I can't understand why my wife needs so many different pairs of shoes...

Firstly, your post has an air on arrogance, sarcasm, condescension and ignorance.

Who is anyone to criticize those who enjoy fishing, playing video games, golfing, coin collecting, car collecting, antique collecting etc etc etc that they may have more of one such item of interest?


You come on here with a condescending demeanor and thinking those who collect bikes, are idiots…..which is most everyone on this site.

It’s actually kind of sad, that a human being like you have to get their undies in a knot concerned about what others choose to do as a hobby, and doing it in a rude, condescending manner.

Get a life!
