So I must deal with my bicycle coveting and bike lust until it fades away. Tough being in the "me first and deny me nothing" generation. Learning to delay gratification is so hard!
That delayed gratification stuff is tough (says the guy that just bought two new bikes...).
What is your ride today? Maybe go out in the garage, clean it up, love on it a bit, and the desire for a Madonegasm will decline.
Heresy on this site I know, but a nice canoe is as beautiful a thing as a nice bike (I'm saving for one now that I gratificationed myself with the bikes for me and SWMBO).
