Bikes: Many

I had too many bikes when I was in a 1 bedroom apartment. About 10.

I then moved to a house, and even though I haven't even finished unpacking, I have bought 4 more bikes...

I have a room in the basement that I will be using as a bike shop, and so far, I have 16 wheels I need to figure out what to do with (some are pending builds) and a floor to ceiling shelf full of parts. I also have several bins of parts yet to move to the basement from the attached garage and office.

I have eyed my 2 car detached garage for hanging storage, but unfortunately the beams are only 2x4's so I don't think there is enough strength to hold enough bikes to make it worthwhile.

So, now I have about 14 bikes, and I still look through several "local" Craigslist sites every day, and also stop by thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales whenever I pass them (which is often).
