My bikes (of which there are MANY) live in the basement because there's absolutely no room in the garage, between my '92 M5, the wife's wagon, and my LS7 powered T70 spider project.

Good eye (another cyclist, excellent!) That is Acqua & Sapone. We went down to the first Tour De Georgia when Lance and Mario Cipollini both rode. My girls used to pick Cipo out of the magazine pictures because of the jersey, so they got me one. I had him to sign it when we were there. He was pretty approachable (though probably the #2 star next to Lance). His one and only win in North America.
I have much more experience with bicycles than cars, but at least some of the technology transfers. My favorite ride is my '05 Specialized Enduro, which has been outfitted with 6-pot calipers with 2-piece rotors (Hope), and a 4 -way adjustable Ohlins-damped Cane Creek shock (it came with a dyno printout - how cool is that!). I've never had a mountain bike that is dialed in as well as that one. The weight-weenies all say it is overkill, but I just love it!
My girls (wife and 2 daughters) are not car people, nor are they the tidiest. The garage lets me keep my toys out of the way and organized. We moved in August. I had all the art on the garage walls before anything was hung inside the house!
