Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Step 1: Get a bigger house.

Step 2: Get more bikes.

Downsized so the kids couldn't move back in......

And, my new be is the best I have ever owned and I am having a great time riding it! So, as horrible as it might sound, I have not even thought about other bikes recently.

No pics of my wife, because I don't want to think about what you guys would do.... She is super hot for fifties, even hot compared to women 20+ years younger!

So, a Stumpy pic instead....

Move to a bigger house, use rooms they might attempt to occupy as bike rooms. Problem solved.

Anyway, I'll let you get back to bicycle talk now.

Welp, that didn't last long. C'est La Vie.

Bummer. Can't make the wrong one the right one and all that free advice you don't want.

Look on the bright side, OP delivered. Although not very well.
