Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

Are you lucky?

You found the perfect recipient for a bike that, aside from sentimental issues, actually had negative utility to you. You weren't using it and it took up storage space.

I've got a couple of bikes like that. Actually, Mrs. Grouch and I differ regarding the actual number. My problem is that my sentimental attachment value for my unused bikes exceeds the monetary value that anybody else is willing to give me for them. The result is they continue to hang, unused, in my shop. When it comes time to give up the condo they'll be just another problem for my kids to resolve.
