If you ride them they'll save far more then their purchase price just in health care.

I'm 74. I haven't had a mid-life crisis yet. Am I allowed to have one now? I keep looking at new bikes. Is that a signal?

Amortized over 60 years, that's just one bike every 20 years... I don't see any crisis!

Wow, really nice.

How or where are your riding the cross bike? Do you ride strictly off road?

Why stop at three, might as well get a high performance road bike, too.
