The ideal number of #bikes, I've been told, is N+1. With N being the number of bikes your already own.
My next #bike won't really be a bike though. Planning on getting a compact e-cargo #trike. Not saying I'll buy one this year, or next year. But the next* purchase will* be a #CargoBike.
I hope I resist the temptation of getting another 2-wheeled ride. 🙏 Well, ya never know. 🤷♀️
@gowin
Nope. Mobility scooters are different. ☝️ Generally speaking, they don't have pedals. You don't expect PWDs to pedal at all.
I've seen a lot of those. We call them Ferraris. 😅 (They're usually glossy red in color.)
@evelyn
You're such a bike afficionado 😂
@martijn
Not so much. Just thinking ahead. 😁
The car I drive is 24 years old and I keep thinking it'll croak one of these days. And I have no intention of buying a new one. Only way I'll get a new car is of someone else pays for it. 😅
Anyway, an electric cargo trike makes a lot of sense for me and my preferred way of life. 😉
@lopta
I guess if you can't justify, then save your money. 🙃
But if the #bikes are very different and are for different purposes (other than just having a second* bike), then I think it's a good idea. 😁
2 mountain bikes. What for? 🤷♀️
1 big bike and 1 little foldie in a size that's allowed on public transpo. Makes good sense, me thinks. 😉
@evelyn It's funny you should say that. I was looking this morning at the Citizen Bikes Milan, which I could take to places I wouldn't ordinarily get to ride...
@evelyn ...but for about the same price, I could get a Detroit Bikes Sparrow, which is built more to my scale, weighs 1/3 less and is a bike I've had my eye on for some years.
@lopta
Ooh... Citizen #Bikes! For a long time I dreamed of having a Barcelona. 😄🚲 But I can't imagine ordering a bike from overseas. Who knows how much customs here will charge me for bringing that into the country.
I've seen taller/bigger-than-average adults using #foldies with 20" wheels. They say it takes a bit getting used to, but they love it.
If you plan on pedaling to the train station, take the train, getting on a bus, pedaling again... 😃👍
@evelyn Do you know that those adult trikes are marketed as mobility scooters, especially for the elderly in Japan?
Other people can still use them, of course.
