We have a Motobecane Grand Touring mixte in our stable. It is rarely ridden by us (too small for me and Ellen prefers her Linus mixte). It sits there forlorn until a couple who are one of Ellen's repeat AirBnB guests arrives from Britain to visit family for a few weeks. Mr Britain rides the heck out of it while they're here. That's pretty much its sole purpose in life. I'm fine with that.
