Don't want to upset anybody but I reckon I neither need nor want another bike.
Currently have a Mongoose BMX, a Rock Lobster MTB, A lovely old Trek road bike and an old Spesh Rockhopper set up as a tourer/rigid MTB/commuter.
Frankly, all of them are better than I am and I can't see the point of buying anything else.
Don't like recumbents, can convert the existing bikes to ss or fixie and I'm too small for a 29'er.
Have always fancied a trike but I'm saving that for old age or infirmity and Longstaff don't make that many anymore.
Don't have room for a tandem but might consider a unicycle.
Please help. I haven't bought a new bike for ages and a nice new air rifle, guitar or compact camera are looking increasingly tempting.
If I can't come up with something soon, I might just have to ride more or book another skills course.
Thanks in advance etc....
add 'great big kite' to your list.
maybe some expensive sea fishing tackle too.
That's only 4! You ain't trying nearly hard enough 8)

Hmmm , did a lot of fishing as a youth.
Is sitting on the rocks at Newborough catching mackerel anymore 'rad' than sitting on the side of Rochdale canal catching roach? Who will be there to admire my tackle?
Do I need a carbon pole?
Have a Peter Parker stunt kite in the loft though. Might give that a go.
giving up at four is just letting the side down..I mean no need for a giant shed/house extension/berlingo or VW tourer.
c- must try harder

you've no idea how good you've just made me feel about myself.

Brompton, you KNOW you want one 😆 . No storage problems, a good ride and soooo practical. Can open up cycling opportunities you didn'y think of before.
...hard to get two on though
Unless you call Steve Parry. I've ridden this at the Brompton World Championships

Get yourself a fatbike, you need one of those
A gibson les paul, thats the guitar covered
And a new ossa trials bike.
If you don't feel that you need any of these you have too much anyway and must be so happy that you don't care.
Nice problem to have
Too fat for a fat bike.
Already have my perfect guitar, a Squire Tele with P90's, better than I'll ever be.
More socks would be nice.
Think I might get married, that'd be good.
Or I could get a Kindle. E-books are quite pricey though aren't they?
Clearly you all need to meet my buddy 'Ten Bikes Jeff'. Well actually (at his wife's prompting) he's reduced his bike count to 7 with a promise not to buy more than 3 per year. 😀
😯Think I might get married
Wa-Hay! New hats for everybody!
I'll have another S-1. It'll go with the road bike that I don't own yet.

I've decided on the unicycle instead. 🙂
You can buy a new hat for that if you want.

let's not be too hasty here
3... hoping to get a 4th.
jeez i was feeling bad about buying new brakes, i have one bouncy (8inch front and rear) bike which is my offroad bike and an old rigid orange which is the commuter.
the bouncy bike is 2006 and the orange is probably 1996 vintage.
but hey i love em.
I'm loving the looks on the faces of that pair behind the brompton tandem,
"WTF is THAT!"
😆
