I have four bikes, lots of skies, a canoe and two kayaks and lots of backpacks and other camping gear as well as fishing stuff. When my wife calls to my attention that I have lots of gear that is taking up lots of space I tell her that she should view me as a collector. If I were a stamp collector, she wouldn't get after me for having too many stamps. It isn't my fault that the things I collect don't fit into an album. My gear, including my bikes, represents a lifetime of outdoor activity. I like having the stuff around, and I have it all neatly stored in various places.
