I'm beginning to think that Dale only keeps us around for these possible reasons:
1) A man with that many bicycles could feel somewhat lonely and ostracized by most of the known world if it wasn't for us fellow eccentrics, I mean enthusiasts, and someone (his wife perhaps) would have had him committed a long time ago. Owning a bike shop is poor cover. My boss only has 2 or 4 bicycles.
2) No matter what any of us collect as individuals we will never have more than Dale.
Also note, they aren't listed by favorite, but by age... Do you think that Dale could personally fill most of the show hall at Cirque?!!!
