Germans have 2.4 bicycles.

I'm guessing they are Xtra cycle Freeloaders

I really need to sell some bikes I think.
Currently there are 19.
1 should be going to by dad this weekend though

And how exactly, Sir, did you acquire these bikes......?

My wife says I have a problem.
I see a bike I like for sale, check my account and then if there is enough money buy it and go without beer for a while.
7 are kids bikes, but need to sell 3 of those really as I only have 2 kids.
It's just hard deciding what to sell

Christmas in the @broady household

(Disappointed sigh) oh ... great ... a bike. Just what I wanted. (Other kids get socks, you know)

Poor disadvantaged countries. Imagine living with less than 15 bikes.

I persevere(with 6). Sometimes, having less means you appreciate it that much more.
Today, the struggle is real.

Does that still include those appropriated from the Dutch and Belgians in 1944/5?**

My kids have never had that new bike feeling. In fact the last time I had a new bike was when I was 11.
Most the bikes I have are mainly bikes that I have brought needing work (as they are cheaper) and intend on selling once I have fixed them, but that generally doesn't happen.

Last year I spent more time fixing bikes than riding them. This year I don't want to work on bikes much at all.

And the kids have never had a bike for Christmas either. Or a birthday.

We don't have much money so I originally brought a cheap bike to learn how to do my own maintenance. I had to buy some new tools so sold that bike to buy them and then brought another wreck.
I've brought mainly from friends/family, ebay or an auction house

Best way to do it, I've found.

Pawn shops sometimes also have some nice things. One local to me has a lot of SRAM high end components up for sale on eBay right now, as well as a nice Trek carbon frame and some really nice triathlon oriented components.

I'm down to 16 (2 adult bikes and 1 kids bike gone).
Hopefully another kids bike going at 3pm.
2 adult bikes still need to go and 1 or 2 kids bikes. Might try and put them up for sale on here later.
Love to only have 12 bikes left by the weekend! !

Now at 15 and one of those is now just a frame. Others are for sale

Germans are big on Utility riding. I'd have thought the figure was more than that. The number of bikes I've seen parked at German Railway stations must be in the hundreds at times.
