    How many bikes do you own?

    Well, I own three. My Bacchetta Aero 24, my Trek Fuel, and my tandem trike. Some of the folks on bentrideronline.com own a stable of bikes. I just don't get it, you can't ride them all at once!

    But I have to admit, I have my eye on Lightning P-38. I took one for a test ride the other day, and oh my, what a fun ride!!

    The most comfortable recumbent you will ever ride, and boy, it climbs hills extremely well!

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

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

    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!

    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!

    4.

    The mountain bike
    The road bike
    The commuter road bike
    The (currently being welded) cyclocross bike

    Already have plans for the 5th, a touring/commuting road bike, but it will probably replace the current commuter.

    I have two.

    My old 1997 Trek 730 that is still in excellent condition. I'm keeping her because I love the steel frame.

    My new 2010 Specialized Vita Comp. Still getting used to her.

    A nice road bike for nice weather
    A travel bike with S&S couplers and easier gearing
    A road bike with fenders and cheaper components for rain and slush
    A hybrid outfitted with studded snow tires
    A cheap bike attached to the trainer.

    So, that would be 5 in active circulation...but I will have to consider the concept of a Wed. bike....

    Technically I have 2...my beloved Cdale road bike and a POS Schwinn mtn. bike that I haven't used in years. It's way too big for me (I was fit by some teenage boy at the shop and didn't have a clue what I needed, either) and was never comfy...weighs a ton. So I'm not sure I even count that one.

    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.
