I gave my beloved Schwinn Fastback (aka Tanya) to my daughter to commute to work. That was as painless as it gets.

The bike I owned before that (lugged steel Bianchi Portofino) is likely going to be donated as a ghost bike. It's rusted silly. That one is hard, as I rode that bike well over 80,000 miles.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the Colnago a friend agreed to sell me is happy between my legs. She's getting out quite a bit.

I guess the point is that bikes are made to be ridden ... if you're not riding it ... it belongs with someone who can and will.
