How many bikes do you have???

[sgraham]

How many bikes is too many? I have 4 and everytime I go to a bike store whether it be local or on vacation, I can always find more that I would like to have... How about you guys?

I currently have 10 + a tandem (we have two of those, so I'm claiming one as mine). DH has equally as many, or maybe one more. That's a total of 20 - 22 in the basement.

Optimal number of bikes is current number of bike +1

I'm at 5, I'm trying to talk myself down to 4. 1 mountain bike, 1 commuter, 3 road bikes.

I'm half intruiged by fixies, so I keep thinking I'll make or buy one, but I kinda think that's a dumb idea, 'cause I seriously like my gears on hills.

I'm a monogamist. I have one cyclocross bike now that takes me pretty much anywhere I want to go, and it will be either sold or donated when I can afford to get an upgraded one.

[Biciclista]

I have 3, and 1/2 of a tandem
I use my Davidson almost exclusively, sometimes I ride my mixte for short rides
and my old Hybrid is in the basement waiting to make fruit smoothies.
and yes, i'd buy another bike in a flash! (so i'm not looking now, i don't need
the temptation)

Three road bikes, one half of a tandem...lol, and a new baby on the way. My mountain bike shipped yesterday! Yay!!

I'd like to say that I'm totally happy and content with what I have now, but I'd really like a beautiful lugged steel fixed gear. Maybe someday!

[SadieKate]

Woohoo! I'm down to 8.5 thanks to dachsund. The 0.5 is my half of the tandem.

And this doesn't count the Marin Mt Vision frame and shock looking for a new home. Shock has been rebuilt and Pushed Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I like that you guys are making me feel sane.

It's okay for me to have 5 bikes, because I don't have 8-10 like you guys

I only have 3 - a road, hybrid and moutain bikes. The other two in my garage are spring cleaning finds and need new homes - I just got the bianchi measured and it's too big Anyone need/want a 58cm steel bianchi to fix up??

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Two bikes- one for fun road riding, one with grocery panniers and racks for errands & shopping. It's all I really need because I basically do only those two types of riding!

[Pedal Wench]

Only 11, but I need a cross and a hardtail.

I have 3 bikes: one road bike that is strictly a roadie, a hybrid (well, it's technically a flat bar road bike, but to me it's a hybrid) with pannier, lights, etc, and a FS mountain bike.
I would like either a touring bike or Bike Friday. Or, a Bike Friday that I can use for touring. The idea of short inn to inn trips has intrigued me for awhile, but I definitely don't have the bike to do that. My DH has a Friday, but it's a road bike. He isn't traveling much anymore and since he loves his road bike, he has thought of trading it in for a Friday we can tour with.
So besides our 7 bikes, we have our son's classic steel Serotta hanging in our bike shed. Even though we bought it for him, we won't sell it!

Hey, the wheels were flat and I was really excited So I'm a dork - I had one of the bike shop guys measure it for me so it really is a 58cm. So it needs a new home! And he said the schwinn is lugged steel but it does need a lot of work. That one is my size if I want to spend a lot to fix it up. It may end up at the garage sale.

And I almost grabbed another one from the curb this morning. An orange bike with orange tape - another step through. But I resisted.
