Frosty - The Jerk 1979
Just watch this short (20 minute) movie, then do something about it. You have too much stuff. I have too much stuff. Ride your bike and consider your next move.

Navin, you have taken in fifteen dollars...
...and given away fifty cents worth of crap, which gives us a net profit of fourteen dollars and fifty cents.

You know, the most amazing thing about that entire video is that only 1% of what we buy is still being used six months later.
I think of my family and imagine they must be including consumables such as food. Then, I wonder about my neighbors who produce overflowing trashcans (65 gallon) week after week.
My wife and I work hard to eliminate waste. We average about a bag and a half of trash a week.
Even so, I am as guilty as anyone. My daughters go through so much stuff. The more stuff you have, the more stuff you think you need.
But can you have too much bike stuff?
I spose if you have bike stuff you never would use.
I have in the past taken all my bike crap laying around and built a frankenbike, then used it to get someone else riding.
And you sure do watch a lot of movies.
I think when you have more then you actually use, it becomes too much. I had some stuff that I donated to a local high school's mtb team, but recycling it on craigslist or eBay is good too.
My neighbor just gave me an 18" (wheel size) Trek that her daughters have outgrown, so now I'm set on the next bike without spending a cent.
There is a show set for tonight on the National Geographic channel called "My Footprint" or something to that affect. From the previews, it looks like it will be an eye-opener to everyone what a massive affect we have over the span of a day or a year or a lifetime on the world, the environment or the planet.
We need constant reminders like this to recognize the scope of the life we lead and to see its impact. Maybe it will turn some heads.
