Recycle-a-Bike

My friend warned me that once you buy one bike, you start to form a collection. I didn’t believe him, but he was right. I purchased my first nice bike for the Pumpkinman Half Ironman and thought that was it.  Here I am about a year later, and I realized that I didn’t want to ride my bike anywhere that I had to lock it up outside.
