And there is no permission on either side at our house - they just show up (although we are STARTING to institute the one in one out rule...).

Many of you have seen this from me before, but the optimal number of bikes is n+1.

Whew, someone who has more bikes than I! And to boot, she's one of my favorite TE'ers!!! All of my bikes have their purpose and since I'm an endurance rider, all of them see ample pavement time.

I planned to get rid of my beater bike (aluminum frame Dolce comp) when I got the Isis earlier this year. Alas, every time it rains or the pavement is wet, I cannot bring myself to ride one of my other (steel or ti) bikes and muck it up. So the Dolce remains, despite a decided lack of adequate storage space (no garage---all of my bikes, except the one permanently mounted on the trainer, are propped against the walls of my "woman cave" (den). DH finally had enough of being told to be careful not to knock them over and ordered me some bike racks!
