I was having a brief conversation recently about wanting to fix up and or restore an old bike. Why? Not really sure. And that is were my dilemma lies. I am a dreamer and I often get sidetracked and start chasing rabbits. I have been in this dilemma for a while now about wanting a new bike. First off, I should have stopped a long time ago because I have a very nice bike and there is no need for another bike. However, I would like to ride mountain bikes because it seems like it would be another enjoyable hobby. I would like to have a fixed road bike because it just seems like it would be cool. I would love a tri bike because it would make me look cool and go fast, probably not, but I am a dreamer.
You see here is the problem and I have said it before and I got reminded of it with my friend. He said, "What do you want to be good at?" Well, great question. I want to focus on being good at triathlons, I stated. Why in the world do I get side tracked and start chasing a desire to have all these other bikes that I don't need and don't have time or money to invest in.
I could have 4 different bikes, with 4 different purposes, but I have to have clarity in my life and be willing to say no, so I can say yes to triathlons. Now, I will not get a triathlon bike at this point, but at least I have clarity on what I need to say yes to.
