Bike Therapy time! My thoughts: 1. The guy who brought it over cradled in his arms like a baby had much bigger issues than you do.
2. It's a bicycle. Remember those? We used to hang them on hooks in the garage, pull them down and ride them places and then return them to said hooks when we were done (when our mothers called us in for lunch). Nothing's changed except that now some of us park them in our living rooms and eat dinner on the couch so we can watch our bikes -- literally, stare at them like a tv set -- while eating. Sometimes we do this while trying to tune out the plaintive voice of our spouse/ partner who wonders aloud (and annoyingly) why we can just watch a tv set like everyone else. (And you thought you were the only one with issues.) 3. How many bikes do you have? More than 5? Sell one. You have too many bikes to ride any of them often enough to assuage your guilt. Especially without the others becoming jealous. 4. Does the new bike fit you comfortably enough that you want to ride it a lot? Great. Keep it and ride the crap out of it. (If it's too small, give it to a family member or sell it -- and get the LHT in your size. And then ride the crap out of it.) Our Bike Therapy session is over for today. I'll send my bill under separate cover. We accept most major medical plans. Seriously, just go ride your bike and enjoy yourself!
