Well, I know why I never posted in there again since I started the thread…
As for the dynamics of collecting/hoarding, I think a lot of it has to do with it being an enjoyable routine that distracts you from other unpleasant tasks and or feelings. After a while it becomes a routine and some sort of escapism. For me, the addictive part is probably the bargain hunting on various european classifieds pages, you keep on swiping until a bargain comes up - which provides a hit of serotonin - similar to mindless social media scrolling, tinder swiping or the good old fashioned slot machine. If the bargain is cheap enough, it’s very easy to convince yourself that you might just buy it and if worse comes to worst, you can still sell it on. Once it arrives, you already have a built planned and eventually get attached to the bike. From there on it‘s pretty much rinse and repeatFinding wierd parts is basically crack

On the way home I could see intense strobe reflections on bits of my bike and signs etc coming from someone I thought was right behind me. After a (short) while this got on my tits and thought to myself, “Why the fuck don’t they just get the fuck past me”.
After a while I looked round and they were about 200m back, searingly bright even at that distance and that’s with street and shop lights around.
This is thing that I am most pissed off about by miles EVERY SINGLE DAY. I really need to not give a shit.
