The one thing I do not need is the tricycle. It is a Schwinn Meridian with 26 inch wheels. Of course, being a single speed that tops out at 12mph at a furious cadence just wouldn't fit the bill. So it got a thumb shifter & pulley rigged to an E-type derailleur and Shimano triple. Then it went through a few BMX freewheels until I found a tooth count I was happy with. After that it got a vintage Arai drum brake from a fellow forum member...It goes. It stops. It hauls groceries & my dog just dandy. Better than new actually. The problem is it just takes up too much room and is a burden to own in the sense that it displaces other bikes that could be in the stable.

I don't have any duplicates. Theres a race bike,
a Dutchie grocery bike,
a commuter/gravel bike,
a 2 person bike,
a klunker bike,
a mountain bike,
a trainer/"like cycling? Borrow this" bike.
And of course, my favorite bike. It's a house brand of a national chain. It's the "it just fits" bike. That I'm off to do a metric on right now.

It's only loyalty and a sense of duty to the trike that I keep it around. Maybe in a few years, when my dog finally goes to fetch the endless bowl of treats in the sky will I sell it, but I really think I'd feel better morally if it was gifted to someone who would appreciate it. I don't think I'd feel right about accepting cash. Is that so weird?
