YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A BIKE PROBLEM WHEN...

[Rat Rod]

You get all excited over the site of nice empty bike boxes in a dumpster... :lol:

Well, maybe that only excites those of us who sell bikes online. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Scored 3 bike boxes that were not crushed yet and fortunately the guy who always opens the boxes with a box knife wasn't working today. :mrgreen:

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Sweet, I wouldn't mind having one of those around for future dealings :mrgreen:

 

[SimpleMan]

Would have excited me. Thats the thing I have the most trouble with is finding suitable shipping packages for the big stuff :mrgreen:

 

[Rat Rod]

I used to get them from a bike shop I lived close to before we moved and they charged me $5 a box and put the money in the "bike mechanic lunch jar." :roll:

This place is right off the highway on my commute so I go right by it twice a day and can see the dumpster from the highway.

Thankfully they don't flatten their boxes before the throw them out. It can be a challenge finding nice boxes sometimes.

There are a couple of LBS's that I go to when I need a box. They gladly give me any that they have or will set one aside if I let them know I need one.

When your wife starts complaining she can't do laundry because your bike projects are in the way. When your wife can't get her bike out of the garage without knocking over sixteen of your bikes along the way.

You hit up the bike section on craigslist every day. :shock:

+1...... Put very well.

Bike boxes are no problem. Most LBS around here are grateful for you to take them.

Even when you're broke...

 

[Philphine]

you need about a half hour of moving bikes and parts to get to the lawn mower.

that time can also be stretched out by finding a part you've been looking for and trying on the bike you want it on, feeling the need to run a bike you hadn't been able to get to easily up and down the drive a few times, or just daydreaming up plans just 'cause you're in amoungst all your bike junk.

yeah, just this morning.

You hit up the bike section on craigslist every day. :shock:

How about every couple of hours.... :shock: :shock:

 

[yoothgeye]

When you wake up from a dream about a bike you are building with better ideas than you had awake.

 

[deorman]

You have no actual working bike.

Crikey! That is a lot of bikes.

 

[Jimmy the Gent]

When you see an item in a store referred to as a "Storage Crate" and immediate think "Hey,they spelled Krate wrong"

 

[highship]

When this is your garage and the shed and basement look the same...

 

[kingfish254]

HOLY COW!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jimmy the Gent]

...this is your living room:

...and that couch is your bed.

When you feel the need to take a long neglected bike for a ride...but first you have to move 10 other bikes, all ready to ride, to get to it...bikes do have feelings you know...
