anyone else solely responsible for the family bikes?

every year it's the same thing, get all the bikes ready (mostly due to annual camping trip) regardless whether anyone will ride them much. I don't think they appreciate all the work that goes into assembling and maintaining a family of bikes. making sure they are the right style, size, etc with whatever accessories are needed, like pedals, kickstands, and rear racks. honestly, with so little free time it's a challenge. then you accumulate more bikes than necessary and have to sell some just to reach equilibrium. yikes my Dad had little clue what was going on with my bike as a kid or young adult. I guess it is worth it when we all get out together for those precious few rides each year. please tell me I'm not alone in this regard.

the Treks, mostly 7.1 & 7.3 FX's are breeding on my patio ...
