Ride the beater eveyday, and save the nice bike for special occasions

Ick.

That feels exceptionally backwards to me. Why not just hang it on the wall indoors for even more appreciation?

A beater's a good idea, for sure. I have a few. But they're best reserved for the special occasions: exceptionally bad conditions, tooling around, coffee/beer runs, chasing down the dog, grab-n-go rides, etc.

Otherwise, enjoy the experience of that nice bike every chancy you get, that's what it's for, no?

A nice bike with a few nicks and worn tires says a bunch.
