True Words These!
We each have, perhaps, our own subjective definition of "dead." For me the only bikes I ever had that felt dead were a custom-built 531 bike that was hit head-on by a BMW (with me on it but at very low speeds!) and an early seventies Stella that was run over by a tour bus. Almost any bicycle makes me feel more alive, even the Schwinn Hollywood that was my only transportation in my starving student days.
