Same here. I didn't have a new bike; I started riding again on my old bike (a mint 1983 or 84 Nishiki), but then I crashed and bent the frame. I cobbled it together good enough to commute until my birthday, when I planned to buy a new bike. Before my birthday arrived, though, I had already acquired 2 or 3 used bikes.


As it sits right now, I have 3 bikes ready to go (it was 4, but I crashed over the weekend and need to do some repairs), and a couple in the garage with flats (one really needs a wheel rebuild). The benefit of all those bikes is that when I crashed on Saturday and sprained my thumb, making riding in the drops or on the hoods kind of painful, I just switched over to a bike I have with cruiser bars and an upright posture. No prob.
