I’m cured!
Blowing out the majority of my hoard!
Prob 75 bikes sold, given away, or dumped last couple of weeks!
Prob 8-10 clunkers, flipper fodder left to be rid of.
Maybe 50 rider, old English riders, and cool future projects left.
Very carthartic!

50 projects? 10 clunkers? Cured?
OK Joe. Whatever you say.
Down by half is a big improvement.

OP is setting a good example. With 75 bikes divested he may indeed have cured himself, but I fear the infection may have spread.

There's no known cure. You're just in remission.

Reminds me of Graham Parkers line from I Got Mercury Poisoning. "It's fatal and it don't get better".

I believe the scrap yard is for the swing set and the trampoline.

looks like the grandkids will be getting new bikes for their birthdays. Clear up until they turn 65!

still the catharsis is real- i went from 11 to 5 bikes, and the OP did similar if you add a 0 at the end. 
matter of scale but it felt good down here as well.

Better, but not all better...
Better...but not all better...turned down six(6), picked this up...had it rideable in less than a fun hour. Rode with a neighbor on his new c’dale hybrid...I had to keep applying the brakes to keep from coasting away from him! Not all better...more picky!
