That is pretty much what I do. When family and friends come to visit we dig into my collection of mostly vintage stuff and go riding. I have found that folding bikes are the way to go because they can fit a wide variety of people very easily. I have way too many Raleigh Twentys for that reason. I also hand out/sell bikes to people that want or need them. I just gave my daughter a German trekking bike that I picked up a couple of years ago, she is living car free in Seattle and needed a bike to fill in the gaps in mass transit, so off it went.
