    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

    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!

    Only 11, but I need a cross and a hardtail.
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    2 road bikes (one is the brevet/trainer bike w/schmidt hub and lights)
    1 mtn bike
    1/2 of a tandem (or really 1/3, as we ride w/ our daughter)
    1 Ducati

    I'm really satisfied w/ my bikes right now. Next one will be the aluminum frame Pegoretti I believe. But that is a LONG way down the road (so to speak).

    .
    I picked up a pair of Oakley Straight Jackets on Chainlove in the "Ducati Special Edition" color....flat grey and red with "Ducati" printed on one lens. I told my DH...."Now I need a Ducati to go with the glasses!" But, he didn't buy it. So....no Ducati for me.

    But...I have 5 bikes: 2 drop bar road, 1 flatbar road, 1 dualie, 1 cruiser. I'm jonesing for a rigid singlespeed for playing in the woods at a local state park, and I'd love a custom Frankenstein bike (cross? tour? ultimate commuter monster?) for a commuter. Someday, on that last one. When the money tree out back finally bears some fruit!

    I've got:

    1 road bike
    1 folding bike (doubles as a pseudo-MTB)
    1 unicycle
    1 project in progress (touring/commuting bike that I'm building from a vintage frame)

    Ah well, if we're counting motorcycles too, I've got three of those.

    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.

    I only have 4--one that lives at our store, my '73 Schwinn. The others are my road bike, mt. bike, and Bike Fri. I had a hybrid that I loved, but DH made me get rid of one when I got the Friday. He just doesn't understand! But I decided to get ride of the hybrid rather than have him get rid of me.
    Tis better to wear out than to rust out....
