How many bikes do you own?

[jdubble]

i've got:
- road bike
- mixte
- xtracycle (aka my minivan)
- cross bike
- the rear half of a tandem
- my husband's old road bike which resides at the in-laws' cottage in michigan (which will hopefully be replaced this summer by a cross bike instead because of exactly what Zen said earlier in the thread about skinny tired bikes and dirt roads - i want to expand my riding options up there!)

i feel like i've got pretty much all my options covered, but it doesn't stop me from coveting other bikes. i'd especially love to add one with s&s couplers.

Old road bike
Mountain bike
commuter bike
tag-a-long (does that count as 1/2?)

I've got 3

Two Road Bikes - A Roubaix and a Look
One Mtn Bike - A turner

but I also have two single speeds that I've 'taken over' that really belong to my sweetie... they are all adjusted to me and he doesn't ride them but they aren't technically mine

I've got 3. Two road bikes (Trek) and a hybrid (Giant). But I pretty much only ride my Trek Madone these days. The hybrid is good on trails, but don't seem to have the time for that.

A rode bike and a mountain bike.

[Xrayted]

a road bike and a mountain bike that currently has road tires on. we get a lot of rain here for 8 months out of the year so I use the mtn bike for wet weather and groceries, errands, camping. Fenders on both bikes. No one likes a dirt/rain stripe up their butt.

I have two bikes. My Rivendell Rambouillet steel road/touring bike, and my custom steel Luna road bike. I don't feel like I need more than that, they are good bikes and I don't do lots of different kinds of riding.

I agree with a previous post about why this site rocks...

I was feeling guilty about the purchase of a 2nd bike, until I read this post. Now I know that it is okay to have more than one bike, and apparently it's okay to have many bikes

Just for the record, I have a road bike that I will convert to a commuter, and I will be getting a Ruby Pro. Can't wait till she is finally mine!

[buffybike]

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.

Four:
One road specialized dolce
One mtb titus xc
one single speed sears
one cruiser electra

Great to hear that women like to own a lot of bikes too!! Still not as excessive as the guys on bentrideronline (I am talking some own 10 bikes!)

Now, the next loaded question, because this always gives me a giggle. Do you ask you significant other for permission to get another bike? This kills me that guys think they have to get their wives permission to get another bike!

Four, but really only riding two these days. Road bike is a Peter Mooney with 26"/650c wheels equipped for commuting, touring, and long rides. Bridgestone MB-3 MTB (steel frame, no suspension) for errands, rainy commutes, and winter use. Old 80s steel road bike with sewups still ridable but not much use for it. The 1954 Raleigh 3-speed is hanging in my basement also.
