I have a 2250 office/warehouse so space is not a problem. Double digits bike wise. Why? Well, many years ago, I had to quit the team/ball related sports because of Father Time and injuries. So, I became a cyclist/endurance athlete. I started with a hybrid, then got a C&V bike from a Goodwill store and brought it back to life. I really enjoyed that experience. Then I started doing the ride listed below. Each year, I would find an an old steel roadie, fix it up, take 1 or 2 shakedown rides and do that ride on it. Sometimes no shakedown rides. It was/is the ultimate blind test ride. I really enjoy that experience. Never been disappointed with a bike yet. I had to skip the ride this year. I couldn't get the the weekend worked out. I still have this year's bike in que for next year. At this point in my life I don't give a rat's ass about how fast I ride or if I'm improving. All of my rides are recorded by a watch, but only for consumables tracking. I never look at the results. I just enjoy riding bikes, watching the world go by and listening to the sounds around me. Call me Ferdinand the Bull if you want to. If all you're worried about is your performance/results, you can get that fix in other ways that are cheaper/less time consuming. Tomorrow is promised to no one. Just get out and do it, whatever "it" is.
