Now sell your car!
I can relate to that one. I've seen people who haven't ridden a bike in 10 years spend almost $1500 on something and never use it more than three times. They always have excuses. "Oh it just rained." "Oh I am busy after work." Sometimes I wish they would just give
me their bikes. I'll make good use of them. Also I agree that his bike looked really clean in the first pic. A little
too clean. Then again, I wipe down my bike and chain every few days. It's a pride thing and I'm a neat freak, plus it only takes a few minutes.
