I know how you feel. Last summer I sold the '99 Schwinn hybrid that got me back into cycling after a layoff of some years. I mostly used it for commuting, but I stopped commuting due to a move, do long distance rides on my newer road bike and utility rides on my folder, still have an old steel 10-speed as an other spare, so it was just taking up space. I sometime wish I kept it because for the $100 bucks I got for it I could have used it for locking up in high theft areas. But mostly it'd still be collecting dust. Now its being ridden and enjoyed by a neighbor.
