Acquired a sixth bike - wife is not amused

My latest toy is a Raleigh R100 with a triple chainring and
Shimano Sora groupset inc flightdeck levers. Sadly I got it
home too late to get a decent ride in.

Should be faster than my Galaxy and easier on the hills than
my 12 speed Equippe.

She who must be obeyed is snarling and is not mollified by
my offer to dispose of two surplus bikes to accomodate the
latest arrival.

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. One can never have too many
bikes. Thus spake the PSF ;-)

Cheers, helen s

Okay, I'll expose my newbie status then...

This is at least the thrd time I've seen your alter ego
refered to as 'the PSF' and have so far only come up with a
typicaly male chovanistic explination, a fact that I am not
proud of. So please put me out of my misery

cheers, a non chovinistic bloke (I dearnt be in my home!)

Well, what's she complaining about? She doesn't have to wake
up in the night to feed it and rock it and stop it from
crying. Oh jealousy ....

No, but I bet she must get up to dust, polish and keep the
tyres inflated ;-)

and I bet that she has spent more money on shoes, clothes,
make up etc than you have on bikes over the last 10 years.

But can one have too many wives?

OK, do tell. I can't work out an expansion of PSF which
*would* be

to Helen's legendary crumple zones, but I can't work
out the rest.

The PSF is the Paving Slab Fairy, who goes about in a
Bianchi celeste tutu braining cyclists foolish enough to be
wearing bibshorts. She first became associated with paving
slabs on urc when she offered to help people better
appreciate the value of cycling h*lm*ts by breaking them
over their heads. The paving slab offer was later extended
to anyone caught wearing bibshorts, a sensible and
functional item of clothing of which Helen has a
pathological hatred, except when they are worn by Nicole
Cooke and possibly Lance Armstrong. If you wear bibshorts,
particularly in Norfolk, and are not Nicole or Lance, watch
out for low flying paving slabs.

Marc of Jaceeprint has designed a PSF logo for use by urc
memebers. See

You folk with lots of bikes. Is it a problem deciding which
bike to go out on? Does the colour matter?

Yes its a *big* problem. If I go out to get the Trice from
the garage, the Brommie invariably tries to trip me up when
I pass it in the hall.

Not at all. In fact it's because it's so easy is the biggest
factor in *why* I have several to start with. So 50 Kg of
coal to collect, I take the 8 Freight. Down to the pub to
meet some pals, Brompton as it fits behind the door to the
non-skoking room in Mennie's very neatly where I don't have
to worry about it, 100 km in armchair comfort it'll be the
Streetmachine, buggering about in the lane being silly, it
has to be the Muni, some major mud and rocks cross country
it'll be the MTB.

> Does the colour matter?

Not really. All else being equal I'll go for something I
like, but all else generally isn't. I can't really see much
point in owning lots of very similar bikes, but mine are all
very different beasts.

Heh - that'd be the wrong sort of wife then. I'm winning on
bike spending by lots :) (I think I'm winning on bike
spending for her by quite a lot too)

cheers, clive
 
>You folk with lots of bikes. Is it a problem deciding which

I assumed it depended on what shirt and shorts you were wearing - like choosing the right handbag to go with the right dress.

I avoid this problem by having only one bike and no dresses.

I mentioned to a non-cycling friend the other day that I knew of people with five or more bikes and he was gobsmacked. I pointed out to him that he has different shoes for wearing to work, going for a walk in the country and playing tennis in, but he wouldn't buy that explanation.
