I'll play! We also have a bikey family, and we've been car-free since 2011 so all the bikes get used, even if there aren't really so many of them, considering some collections I've seen. So:
54 Hunqapillar with boscos, racked and fendered and dyno'ed. My go-anywhere, do-anything, all-weather daily rider. 56 Atlantis with noodles. No fenders, no racks, just a straight-up fairweather joyrider. Brompton M6L, White with black mast. I use this as a travel bike and multi-modal commuting. Went camping on it once. They're very capable little bikes. 17" Gary Fisher Hoo Koo E Koo from 1995. This is the perennial 'project bike'. It's been, variously, a cargo hauler, a single-speed pub bike, a polo bike, and a mountain bike. A Raleigh ladies 'comfort bike' that my wife uses as a fair weather commuter. It's pretty rough; she's hard on bikes. A Workcycles Oma, a dutch hoop-framed tank that she uses for inclement weather commuting. It's actually a really nice ride on the flats. Kona Coco. My almost-14 teenage daughter's bike, and her first 'real' bike: 700C, disc brakes, and a lovely emerald finish. Most recently, I made room in the garage for another bike, a 2004 BMW R1150GS. The other kind of two-wheeled riding I enjoy! The best part of reconfiguring the garage is the everyone's bikes are now easy to get out without knocking over anybody else's (usually mine). The Atlantis looks great hanging from the low ceiling! On Tuesday, July 28, 2015 at 5:25:31 PM UTC-7, murphyjrfk wrote: > > I always wonder-i betcha there are a lot of cool bikes around.
