Why having more then one bike is bad

[Joe24]

Well this is the problem. The worst problem of all. The problem i dont think can be solved.
hich bike to ride Or, which bike to take on holiday The fixed is done and i'm loving to ride it, so do i take that? The Giant i always love to ride, but its always flat out. But, i dont want my fitness to go down too much over the 2 weeks, so do i take the Giant and just go powering around in my spare time, or take the fixed and go spinning around in the spare time? Would my fitness drop if i were to take the fixed?
I'm not sure, when i took the fixed up a short-ish hill my thighs got that burning feeling, it was lovely. If i was on the Giant i would of beensitting down spinning.
Is Belgium hilly? We are going to Holland which i know is flat, so it would be spinning and most effort put in when theres a head wind, but never been to Belgium. The area in France, Aimmens(spelling) is at a slightly hilly section, so would be fine with the fixed.
This is one of the biggest things against more then one bike If you just have one, you are happy to ride that one, but with two, you want to ride both.
Oh and in Belgium, if there is a cycle lane do you have to be in it, orcan you just ride on the road. Same question but with Holland, i stayed on them last time and know they are good.
Help?

There is only 1 way to decide this, giant HEADS, fixed TAILS

A friend once patronisingly guffawed and asked why I needed two bikes when told I'd had another for my birthday. I asked why she needed to have spent the extra £150k on moving into the bigger house they had just bought, when the last one was fine. She didn't get it.

My sister, when I got my third bike, asked why I needed 3 when I only had one arse. I pointed out that she only had one pair of feet, but it didn't stop her buying new shoes. She had the grace to see the point straight away

Joe, I know your dilemma - and I've had to choose between bikes that aren't even as different as your fixie and the SCR. Toss a coin, and promise whichever bike loses, you'll take it next time.

I pointed out that she only had one pair of feet, but it didn't stop her buying new shoes.

Note to self: remember this reasoning. Sound logic and will work perfectly on my Wife.

I've a nasty feeling I've already got more shoes than my girlfriend...

 

[Joe24]

Anyone fancy flipping a coin for me then? Just to make it fairer
Landslide, maybe you should hide some shoes then say your thinking of getting a new bike and do the shoe comment. She will never notice

Heads

I got heads as well

 

[Joe24]

So it is 2 votes for the Giant then.
Giant is it then.

Or was it fixed heads, giant tails?

 

[Arch]

I dropped the coin, and it was tails when I found it...

You have a fixed head and a giant tail ? Hope you have a decent saddle

 

[Joe24]

I think its th fixed. Maybe it was a sign but i went to go out on it this evening and it had a puncture. I was thinking, well i'll take the fixed if the coins are saying so, and the fixed had a puncture. Took me ages to change it aswell.
I ended up putting the Giant front wheel in and going out with that. But i can now skid stop without using brakes which i loved doing. Need to stop it though, back tyre will be shot soon.
It was Kendas, but it was 2 snake skin punctures not something sticking through it.

Roadie - more useful if it's hilly !

 

[Joe24]

Going for the Giant because when its flat it means i can push a bigger gear. Dont think its going to be too hilly, but i stil want to be going at a good speed on the flat and not just spinning.

The worst problem of all. The problem i dont think can be solved. Same question but with Holland, i stayed on them last time and know they are good.
Help?

A simple problem to resolve, you take the bike which has the fittings to carry front and rear panniers, a bar bag and of course lights and mudguards.
For the second part the answer is yes.
