One good thing about this thread is I don't feel as guilty owning more bicycles than I really need. A

I use sunscreen all of the time, but "the tan" is in progress....
I've had people at work look at my hands and ask "oh, do you ride bikes a lot?".
Guilty as charged, your honor.

IME, a line like that requires a room like that, I still have the 3 Paramount's in the garage with the daily rider? Merz, what PITA as their slots in the basement got consumed by overflow when they stepped out.

I'm in the market for a new (used) car and when I noticed the vehicle im interested in had run flat tires the thought came to mind..." I should ask if I can swap them for clincher tires.
