D'oh... I extended the question but didn't answer it.  Sheesh.  I  
play guitar (and we have even more guitars than bikes.  3 bikes, an  
un-built-up frameset and a tandem plus the wife's 3 bikes.  But we  
have 8 guitars; and a banjo, violin, piano and clarinet (all my  
wife's).).

Suddenly I feel a bit embarrassed by conspicuous over-consumption.   
What the heck do I need all this stuff for?  Three billion people on  
the planet have no guitars, bicycles or fountain pens- or barely a  
place to live out of the weather or enough food.  About half of the  
Earth's population lives on $3 a day or less, according to the CIA  
fact book.  I can sometimes make as much in a week as many people  
make in a year.  Wow.  Now I've talked my way up from embarrassment  
to guilt.
