So, Everybody's Kitchen Looks Like This, Right?

I was tidying up a bit in the kitchen a couple of weeks back and started noticing a theme...





Bikes and trike parts and tools...









Wheel sets tucked into corners...





Brake parts about to disappear under the stove...





Floor pump (and an unrelated stock pot of shoes) by the litter boxes...





Sprocket clusters, spokes and hubs in trays...





And a frame, fenders, two rear racks (I found an old Pletscher under the faux leaves...) and frame pump with the cat food! I forgot the big toolbox that actually lives in the kitchen now, on a table by the microwave. It's full of bike bits and tools. Ah, hobbies. :)

  1. I used to have a kitchen that looked like that. Now I've got a garage...

  2. Oh, you lucky guys with your garages and sheds. But I can cook and wrench at the same time. ;)

  4. @Steve - Oooo, nice... If I had a shed with a woodstove, I would probably live in it all winter.

  5. Sorry for digging up an old post, but I just stumbled upon this. You've got me laughing because this is what my bedroom at college looks like right now! 4 wheels and what is now 5.23 tires leaning up on the walls, various tools and pieces of equipment crammed in one corner, and other parts/boxes of parts overflowing from under the bed. This is partly because I fix my friends' bikes for them.

    There is no source of water outside the building; I have to wrench on my old junk in the hall right outside of my room in order to be near the kitchen sink. When my lease ends next summer, the hallway carpet in front of my room will probably be soaked in WD-40, haha
