I can remember when I only had one bike. I read an article in a magazine talking about your "quiver" (collection) of bikes and I thought.... that'll never happen to me... Well, now I have five and I'm looking for a few more.

In no particular order....

City bike: Old mountain bike turned commuter. So ugly it would never be stolen. Used mostly to ride to and from the gym for spin classes.

Schwinn Stingray Fair Lady (girl's model): Just plain fun, and I get lots of comments on it. 1971 3-speed with streamers from the handlebars and everything! Sometimes used as a "pit bike" at races.

Hard tail mountain bike: Nice to have, but not used too much anymore. I'm thinking about making it into a single speed. It's good to take when riding with beginners. They don't seem so intimidated by it.

Road bike: 'nuff said. Sleek and beautiful. Has its very specific place in my life. This one gets to stay in the living room. The others all live in the garage.

Dual suspension mountain bike: This is the reason that I have the other four bikes. This one gets the most use (BY FAR!!). Biking has become such a big part of my life, and this bike is partly responsible for all of that!

Other bikes I'm considering in the near future... Cyclecross bike and maybe a cruiser just for fun! But the garage is pretty crowded!
