He was telling me what a bike geek he was, and about his seven bikes he owns and all that. I felt the need to compensate so I told him about my tools. I told him that the real measure of a bike geek isn't in the bikes he owns, but in the tools he owns. I don't know if I impressed Peter or not, but it was the best I could think of at the time. As for impressing anybody else, no illusions there. Many aspire to be the world's great practitioner of cycling; few to be the world's great mechanic in cycling.
