I inherited a beautiful Bianchi bike from my dad and I haven’t been using it because it has sentimental value and I don’t want it to get stolen or trashed by the city… but that’s not what it’s for. It’s not meant to sit in my apartment. He would’ve wanted me to ride it. Take care of it, but don’t worry about it getting worn down. Those expensive boots, that necklace, the watch, grandma’s ring. The things you’re trying to keep, they‘re not meant to sit and be preserved. Plastic off the sofa. Use it!!
