I think you're confusing passion (which this is) for greed/excess. If you were buying a 3rd car just because, yea, that would be different.

I am looking into getting a second bike for fitness alone, letting my uptown be my utility bike & not put extra miles on its various parts that arent set up for speed or weight savings (its 36 lbs). I am also looking t get a really simple 3 speed (SE tripel to be exact) for quick trips into town when a backpack can do.
