Why have you got so many bikes?
I only have 4 now, and each one has a purpose.
The 20" Edwards, is for when I go on local errands. It has a baskets on front and rear. It is the sort of bike that would be the last one that anyone would steal from a bike rack. It cost me £5 in a boot sale, plus another £30 to bring it up to scratch.
The Brompton is a folding bike that I can take on the bus or train that I have done many times in the past. The one I have is one of the original early types. If I were to sell it I would get double what I paid for it.
The Muddy Fox is a ATB that was my trial bike. Great for riding in the forest (Epping forest) that is close to where I live.
The GT was given to me by my son that was surplus to requirement. I fitted a Currie electro drive (kit) on it.
This I use for longer trips as the motor helps on hills and allowed me more easy miles.
I have in the past had and restored some of the rare breeds of bikes. If you may have heard of the 'Moltons'? A popular small wheeled bike of the 60s. Done a few of those.
