    Opinions please.

    How many bikes can you have in a bedroom before you have to declare it your bike room/shop/museum 👿

    Currently got seven bikes in the spare room. Two in my bedroom and four in the shed 😕

    Blimey, I will have to show your post to my other half.

    She is moaning like hell because of the number of bikes I have got :

    MTB – Marin for muddy bits

    Retro- Peugeot Europa – currently a work in progress restoration into a PX10 lookey-likey

    Work travel – Raleigh Pioneer (well somebody has to own them)

    Bestest – Giant Defy 2

    I just happened to mention the possibility of buying a bike to to try out some crossing this winter and she was on the phone to a divorce solicitor !

    I need to show he how many bikes you have got so she can see it in a different perspective (i.e. let me have more bikes)

    Mtb should be fun addition not a negative!

    They are good fun. It’s all bikes at the end of the day.

    MTB is like a swear word to me 👿

    BMX, I would like one, but no-where around here as in parks and stuff. Cant just ride it around on the roads

    I have two cross bikes. I just class them as winter road bikes 😉

    Been away at a wedding and with some reflection the only way forward that I can see is 2(S)+(GH+K)+(OGH+G)=N+1 Negotiation will needed for the later part of the formula. But then algebra was not my strongest so I would take my workings out with a pinch of salt.

    Well my other adaptation of
    Well my other adaptation of the formula was this

    GH – N = 13 (+ 1 = Homeless)

    OGH + G = N = 0 + more is good, been told I can use, but not have a key 😕

    So in Engerlish it looks like this

    Granny’s House = N = 13 (+ 1 = Homeless)

    Other Granny’s House + Garage = N = 0 + more is good, been told I can use, but not have a key 😕

    Because I live with on of my Grannies. I only use it as a base between job’s. So really shouldn’t fill it with bikes. Hence why I need a new shed. But my other granny lives just around the corner, has a garage and said I can use it any time, which I do for building up bikes when I have no room here. But she doesn’t lock it and won’t give me a key. So until now I’ve not left anything there overnight. Even with a nice anchor, I would be worried leaving anything there. Not that there is crime of any kind in the village. I still don’t trust people.

    I have adjusted the formula slight

    So for just now it is just N and if I don’t get a new shed shortly It may have to be n – x (x being enough to keep myself in a house)

    SOLUTION: You move into the shed and the bikes live in the house!! That way you can increase N 😉
    EDIT : just realised that that is the threat!!!

    Scroll down a bit. There are over 2000 pictures on that page. 👿

    Mine will be FULLY enclosed, With access to the wheels incase of punctures and then a boot at the back, with some sort of roof where I can climb in and out with ease.

    But comfy enough, so in the event I do not reach my destination at any point. I can just camp in it 🙂

    What’s a velomobile then? We talking about a faired HPV or something?

    Velomobile’s come in various forms. Mainly based around a recumbent trike and fully enclosed

    Slightly unfortunate that you chose a yellow one – I’m thinking immediately of this:
