Cycling can get bad. Some dudes have a garage full of $20k of bikes.
I am on the low end of the bike hoarding spectrum. I have two very modestly priced bikes (one road, one fat) and a 20โ box of parts and accessories. You could count the 4 water bottles in the cupboard, 4 bike shorts in the drawer, and 6 bike jerseys in the closet as well. 2 pairs of bike shoes, a hook of tires and tubes in the garage, oh god never mind I have it bad.
This week I actually got to use some old cranks I had saved from a bike I replaced.
Ok I'm not actually going to ride those cranks. I just needed to fit them on the bike to confirm the other cranks were bent and not the bike frame itself.
Now I'm going to buy new replacement cranks and keep the old ones AND the bent ones for some reason...
