I went down by one bike not out of choice. I kept my beloved 1962 Rudge Sports 3-speed at my mother in law's place in Florida. Her apartment building occasionally sweeps through the bike storage room and removes bikes it considers abandoned. The normal process is to let us tag them as still desired. The last time, they didn't ask and just assumed. I'm in the process of making them compensate me for this, and they are dragging their feet, as they don't want to be responsible.

I haven't bought or built a bike for myself in a few years. Now I'm down to seven:

NYC:
1. 1974 Raleigh International, used for commuting and general purpose
2. 1996 Lemond titanium, used for fun weekend rides
3. 1975 Viscount, converted to fixed gear for short city rides
4. 1971 Raleigh Professional track which I raced on in 2014 and virtually never ride

High Falls, NY:
5. 1971 Raleigh Super Course, for fun on gravel and roads, and for hauling
6. 1982 McLean road racing bike, for "pure pleasure"
7. 2002 Burley Zydeco tandem which I ride with my spouse
