Might as well face it...your addicted to bikes! The first step is to admit you are powerless over old bikes - that your life has become unmanageable (parts soaking in degreaser in the kitchen sink, bikes and bike parts stashed everywhere....). You then need to "stay clean". Avoid looking in dumpsters, "cruising" on bulk pickup day, "hitting" garage sales, and "checking out" craigslist. Make friends who can help you through "rough patches". It' a lifelong battle that many of us lose. I myself, brother, relapsed into my old ways after staying "clean" for a "long stretch". I think watching Breaking Away triggered me off this time. "Just one more, I can handle it" I fool myself into believing. I hope you find the inner strength you seek. May the force be with you.
