View Full Version : Woo hoo, a 6 bike week!

In the last 6 days I've ridden 6 different bikes. That's a good week.

Saturday - tandem ride with my wife.
Sunday - rode the Kline with the fellow that I'm going on vacation with. He can pretty much drop me anytime that he feels like it but he's too polite.
Monday - mountain bike ride. Harder than I expected. I was able to ride all of the hills but I walked the tricky baby head creek crossings. I need more practice to get my mountain bike skills back.
Tuesday - fixed gear ride. I was still tired from Monday so I only rode about 10 miles. Besides it doesn't take a very good excuse for me to cut a fixed gear ride short. I just don't get the fixed gear thing.
Wednesday - beater bike ride around town to a meeting and to run some errands.
Thurdsay - retro grouch bike on the KATY trail.

I still have a ride planned for tomorrow so I could make it a seven bike week but I'm out of bikes.

Right off the bat, that's an N+1 excuse to me. Perhaps N+2 if you can dump the fixie.

You're supposed to ride them on an oval track. ;)

You need a recumbent so that you can both take a ride and rest on the seventh day.

A Gravity Bike would be good too. No pedaling: just rest. ;)
