How many bikes do you own?

[Zen]

You can't ride a skinny tire road bike on a dirt road.
And you can't ride a Tuesday bike on a Wednesday

[Selkie]

Too many. Well, maybe not.

[Bike Chick]

Two...........but I'm always looking for a third.

[Catrin]

Two...and for now that is enough. Eventually though I will probably get a mountain bike but that will be a few years.

[redrhodie]

I have 2, both the same maker, but different materials. I'm set for a while, but I think I'd be in trouble if I test rode a Moots.

I have 4:

2 road- the first generation was a second hand C-dale purchased from a friend which has been upgraded to a C-dale SuperSix.

2 mountain-a 26 inch wheel Titus and a 29 inch wheel Salsa.

Most people that mt bike a lot, or race have 2. My DH just cracked his frame and it tokk 5 weeks to replace. He missed 2 races because he does not have a back up any longer. Needless to say, we will be getting a second bike for him sometime soon.

I have three, but they are spread out at two different houses. That's how I justify it. I ride the steel single speed in Georgia on the farm roads and here in Miami I have the carbon hotness for tri's and the hardtail mountain bike with slicks for the trainer or whatever. I did eye a hot tri bike...hhhhmmmmm!

That's it - thank you Zen!
I was looking for an excuse (and possibly one that I haven't already used) to go shopping for another bicycle
If we look at one for each day of the week... I now have room for 3 more!

I have 3: a road bike, a tri bike and a mountain bike.

Just when I think I can't list any more reasons why I love this forum... yet another one pops up lol...

YEAH... more bikes! lol...

I own:

4 bikes...

* 2 that fit me
(Orbea carbon road bike & Trek wsd hard-trail mtb)

* 2 that don't fit me
(1st road bike post driver's license & last road bike pre-driving that my parent's thought I'd "grow into" and never did lol)

hmmm... I think according to the bike owning laws of Zen I'm due for more.

I have three:

an '87 steel Schwinn that I use for commuting/errands--it's got baskets and racks galore.

my road bike

my hardtail mountain bike

I'll never say no to a fourth (or even fifth)...especially if it were a vintage mixte or a titanium touring bike.

[TrekTheKaty]

My hybrid just left on the back of my brother-in-law's new camper Now I need a spare--just in case my bike has to go to the shop

[Trek-chick]

I have 2 for now. A Gary Fisher HKEK mountain bike and my new Trek 520 touring/commuter bike. I had 4 but, had to sell two in order to afford a new bike this year. I plan to get a custom frame built up in the future.

[Aggie_Ama]

I have three:

Scott Contessa 30 Hardtail Mountain bike - currently on loan to a friend who wants to try dirt but not ready to buy.

Gary Fisher Hifi Deluxe - full suspension sweetness of a mountain bike.

Cannondale Synapse Carbon Roadie - I am bummed because she is a beauty and we have seen many miles but I got to admit I was steered wrong by a LBS that didn't care because they were going under in a matter of months. May be replacing the ill-fitting frame and keeping the components. My LBS wasn't sure they could do much to dial in the fit, the top tube is way too long.

DH has four:
A Cannondale roadie
A Kona Jake commuter/cyclocross bike
A Stumpjumper full suspension mountain bike
A Diamondback hardtail that needs a lot of new parts. He may make it a single speed.

3:
a trail bike (Trek Navigator 2.0)
a commuter (Giant Transcend)
my "all around" (Fuji Cross Comp)
