and that someone is PH. 
My son has had at least four bikes in the last four years. He is constantly working/scrounging for money to upgrade the parts on his bike or replace it altogether.
He is currently working on buying his fifth bike.
The kid loves messing with all the parts, fixing it, taking it apart, and putting it back together.

I have one that's starting a guitar collection. We have his first cheapo acoustic, then the very nice Ibanez electrice (just over a year old) and now we may be the proud owners of a Fender Strat, sometime next week if his paycheck is as much as he is expecting it to be.

He'd love that!!
I'm trying to convince him to consider Tri training as he gets older.
Unless it involves skateboarding, rollerblading, and bikes

Look at it positively: he'll make a good mechanic or engineer some day

Well, actually he already has a row of bikes in the front yard with a big "For Sale" sigh out there. And yes, he also speaks of being a mechanic some day. My brother did the same thing as a kid too.
