True Love/How Many Bikes?

[shootingstar]

I have 3 bikes - 2 hybrids & 1 beater mountain bike

He has 3 bikes- 1 Miyata road touring bike, 1 hybrid and 1 folding bike. He also has a B.O.B. trailer.

So that's 6 bikes in total.

I have a Specialized Dolce road bike, a Giant touring / road bike, a GT "mountain" all purpose beater, a Jamis steel commuter with fenders.

He has a 198-? Colnago road bike and a custom built mb, and a mb frame waiting for another build.

Daughter has a Raleigh mountain bike and a cheapo $25 number that is going in the yard sale in a couple of weeks.

Til then, that's eight.

Just one for me. One Bianchi, which is probably nervous about all the visits to the Seven dealer. Guitars, now that's a different story!

How do you store all those bikes? Are you using hooks in the ceiling or walls??

Guitars?? Oh...geez...the DH has a BUNCH of those!
A Ramierez (classical)
A Breedlove (acoustic)
A Toma (acoustic)
A couple of "beginner" guitars classical that I don't recall the makes.
And a Japanese copy of a Stratocaster that he has no idea how to play, and thank GOODNESS he doesn't own an amp for it!!!
And my BIL just started handmaking archtops, so I suspect as some point soon, we'll have one of his, too!

The bikes are stored in various spots in the house. My commuter is in the garage for ready access. The road bikes are in the laundry room for "semi-ready" access. And the mtb's are in the utility room, which is much more difficult to access.

I've got five (which means I'm addicted, according to BleeckerStGirl's formula.)

2007 Rivendell Glorius (commuter)
2005 Specialized Sequoia Comp (road)
2006 Kona Cinder Cone (mtb)
1986? Bridgestone mixte (just for fun)
1991 Bridgestone 300 mtb converted to Xtracycle (hauling machine)

Hello, my name is solobiker and I have an addiction. I own "too many" bikes. I guess the first step is to acknowledge my addiction vs denie it. I currently own 5 bikes.

1987 Schwin Prelude
1990 Giant Butte
1994 Gary Fisher Paragon
1999 Cannondale R1000
2007 Bianchi Cross Concept

My sister has my 2 oldest bikes now, but I will probably take them back because she does not use them.

The funny thing is when I bought my first bike my Dad questioned me on why I wanted a bike because he figured I had just gotten my drivers liscense and would not be riding a bike any more. Well, over 20 years later and I am still riding

"Only" 3 for me (but I'd love to have more!)

Race bike: 2005 Specialized Allez Comp
General road bike: 2006 Specialized Sequoia Elite
Commuter bike: 2007 Jamis Coda Comp

Obviously, I need a 2008 to keep the series intact!

- 2008 Curtlo (custom steel road)
- 2006 Motebecane Sprint (aluminum road)

We're both starting to get the itch for cyclo-cross bikes - not for racing but for good all purpose bikes.

As for storage, our 4-car garage has turned into a 3-car & 8-bike garage.
