Well, the scientific method and logical/practical thinking has given us cars, planes, modern medicine, smart phones, space travel and on and on and on. As for magical thinking......
That gives us juju, voodoo, copper bracelets, magic crystals, gods and trickle down economics. The way things look these days another dark ages may be upon us as fewer and fewer trust objective reality.

I like the possessions of loved ones who have passed away, because I feel like a part of them is still with me. If the bike was owned by a friend, how else to honor your friend than to appreciate and lovingly maintain his bike?

As far as the builder, no problem there either. The builder released the bike into the world to be enjoyed by others, because that's what a builder does.

I ended up with a Yeti mountain bike back in 2015 after a good friend passed (yeah, eff cancer)....his wife gave it to me cuz she knew I would ride it.

One man's objective reality is another man's delusion. Fully a third of the so-called adults in the US are certifiably delusional and enough others that there may soon be an objective reality that you may find to be an objectionable reality.
Juju will be way low on your silly**** list
