Bikes are okay, I guess.

How the hell did I wind up with five Raleighs?

I bought a brown Sports 3-speed for myself for town riding. Then I found a green ladies' 23" Sports at the curb on trash day in a small town in NC, then I was given blue ladies' Sports by a woman for whom I'd found it at a yard sale. Long story. She never rode it (probably not even once, so nev-er). Then I got the Pro frameset from a buddy who'd bought the bike in order to sell off the Campy stuff (hate that). Then a Tourist that showed up at the local co-op. That's all...for now. I also had a silver/blue Pro and a Portage, both of which are long gone and missed.
