I want to ride my BICYCLE!

We have a garage full of Bicycles. There ARE 7 of us, so you'd expect 7 bicycles, but 12?! Yep, we have 12!

Here's Mike's Surly.

And his Trek. And look behind the Trek. I can't remember what it is, but it doesn't even have tires. I think that's the one he had my mom bring over to England for him when we lived there. Yep. She brought it on the plane for him! ;)

This is Mike's 4th bike. It's an old Haro. (Maybe this is the one mom brought to England???) I can't remember if he used to own these two older (smaller) bikes, or if he put these together himself. He loves bikes, but I like to tease him about having FOUR. Because he wants ANOTHER one!

Here's the old bike I bought a few weeks ago. I mentioned it here. I'd thought about painting it, but I like it as is. I just gave it a squirt with the hose. I still need to get some flowers for the basket, but he's all set up in the backyard. If it weren't so darned windy, I'd "plant" my $1.00 Habitat Restore Door behind the bike too.

Here's my Electra Bikes Black Betty. Isn't she pretty? And I don't even like pink!



Here's Little Man's.

Here's Benny's.

Big H's bike.

T's bike.

And Gigantor's. I'm just kidding about "Gigantor". He is 6'5" though! Look how high the seat is! (Love you, Zac!)

Here's Benny's old one we need to sell. And up until our garage sale a couple Saturday's ago, we had 13 bikes! I forgot we got rid of one that day.




I'm joining Jenny again for Alphabe-Thursday. Go check out all the other players.
