this might not be the right place to say it, or it might be exactly the right thread…
but if you are trying to get yer mate, who may not have much money, into mountain biking, you’ve got them some bits, got their cheap bike to a certain standard, done a few rides and they are starting to love it.
and then they find STW and threads like this. it’s just some other aspirational bollocks isn’t it. Remember when you first started riding bikes and that buzz? no number of bikes will replace that without the time to ride them. it’s N+1-T
Ok I’ll bite :D. I don’t think it’s been an aspirational bollocks thread, I don’t particuarly feel people have been boasting “I;ve got this many look at me”. It’s interesting to see what people have and how some of the odder amongst us seem to have a fair few!!!
As one of the guiltier parties of bike accumulation it’s my hobby, I’m not interested in a flash car, or flash tv’s etc and I like fettling bikes. My bikes have been accumualted over the years and one of the reasons I’ve so many is for some reason I don’t like getting rid of them – odd maybe but it’s the way I am. Agree entirely sbout time to ride being.
Re your mate, well done forn helping him, but do you think me and Mrs K, and probably the rest of the “bike collectors” here have this many bikes and don’t lend them out to mates?
And one final reason for having loads of bikes;
“Enjoy yourself, while you’re still in the pink
The years go by, as quickly as you wink
Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself,
It’s later than you think”
