    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 😕

    Er, did you you just say
    Er, did you you just say you’re going to build a bike with air conditioning?!

    Mine has it built in, you just need to go faster to cool the airflow!

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

    No, they all know their
    No, they all know their place

    Recumbents in the shed as they are to big for the house. TT’s in the bedroom as they fit in just perfect and the rest which get used most in the spare room.

    If they rebel against me, they are gone.

    Up until the start of the year. I only ever had one or two bikes. But after finally sorting things out with my insurance follow a crash that I got taken to court over and found guilty 😕 They did pay out.

    So been buying things here and there. Like a frame from here and then a S/S from here. I had bits ready to build recumbents anyway. So been working on them.

    Need space to attempt a velomobile this winter. Gonna try to make it quite fancy, but more for comfort. With some A/C hot+cold. Nice lights. Plenty of storage and then go on a road trip somewhere……Thats the dream. Now watch it fall flat on my face 👿

    Do you think that the bikes in the shed are jealous of the ones in the house? Or the ones in the spare room jealous of the ones in your bedroom? I can see trouble brewing…

    13 bikes?! That is a bit
    13 bikes?! That is a bit overboard! What are they all?

    Off the top of my head, with a lot more space (and cash) than I have, I could think of owning:

    Best carbon road bike
    Best Ti road bike
    winter road bike
    Fixie
    MTB
    potter-to-the-shops hybrid

    That’s still less than half of your lot – do tell us how this has come about!

    I’m lining up a new shed.
    I’m lining up a new shed. Thinking about a custom built one, So I can set up a TV and computer, then get myself a new turbo trainer as mine has died.

    Then have work space for my stand and tools and a stand for some of my bikes. Hopefully fit them all in. If I get any more I’ve been told I’ll need a bed out there aswell :O
