How Many Bikes Can You Have Before You're Considered A Hoarder?

As Wahine says, if you are using them, then you aren't hoarding them. If they are just sitting around, find them a new home.

I sold 2 bikes last year because they definitely weren't being ridden much and needed to be loved by someone else. We also just sold our tandem, because, well, I'm a control freak and don't want to be a stoker anymore. ;-)

Now I have 5 bikes and they all are useful to me. (Though, truthfully, I don't ride my Santa Cruz very often at all. It sure was fun in the snow a few weeks ago, though.) I have a 6th on order. And I really need a cheap "commuter" that I can ride into town and leave chained up on the street without worrying about it. Something old, ugly and beat up that no one would take a second glance at.

I've been feeling a bit guilty to have ONE bike that I am currently not riding. I am ignoring that though, I love my full-custom Gunnar even if I am not currently riding her. That will change when I am ready.

Agreed. I try to keep myself at 2, although I currently have 3(Waiting for spring to put on C/l)
