I collect bike stuff, but I don't call it bike collecting when talking with other bike collectors. When I talk with other bike collectors I call what I do BIKE HOARDING! The reason I do this is because other bike collectors get soooo upset when I say that... drives 'em nutz! Kind of fun in a perverse kind of way.
