One of my problems is that I cannot stand seeing a good bike go to waste. I live in a cul de sac that has about 10 kids in it. All have bikes, and all of them get outgrown and damaged on a frequent basis. I currently have 5 bikes in my family, that have to be maintained and around 12 in the road belonging to the kids that regularly need maintenance. I have 5 ridable bikes and 6 tucked away in the shed for Spares. I was recently given 3 bikes that if I did not have, were going to be scrapped. Two needed new tyres and tubes, and one needed a saddle. These were brought into ridable condition from the spares and are now with my neighbours getting used, abused, and enjoyed. Problem is, I now have their old bikes in the shed, waiting for me to bring them back into condition, so that the younger kids will have bikes of more their size.
I may not have any room left for storing dead and dying bikes, but in my road I have the fittest set of youngsters in the area. All I need now is a good road bike that is suitable to build up the 15 year old Bianchi and the ultra lightweight racing bike I was given last year.
