You really need to quit making assumptions. You aren't particularly good at it. I don't live in the countryside. I don't live in the suburbs. I live in the inner city in a modest Denver bungalow. I have a garage. The only infrastructure that you need is some space...these are bikes after all and 10 or 15 of them take up about as much space as a car. Even with my bikes and others for the rest of my family, I have enough room in my garage to park cars in it. And the garage isn't even heated. Why should it be? These are bikes, not tropical plants.

As for jfowler85's post, I personally know many very reasonable people who own more than 7 bikes. There are lots and lots of people on the Forums who own many more than my 7. I've even pared down my fleet in the past to my current number. It's my money. I can do with it what I damn well please. And neither you nor that jerk have any say in the matter. Period.
