How many bikes do you own?

**itself** · 05-30-2010, 07:31 PM

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

Too many. Well, maybe not.

**Bike Chick** · 05-31-2010, 02:17 AM

Two...........but I'm always looking for a third.

**Catrin** · 05-31-2010, 02:26 AM

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.

That's it - thank you Zen!
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!

**roadie gal** · 05-31-2010, 05:45 AM

I have 3: a road bike, a tri bike and a mountain bike.

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

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** · 05-31-2010, 03:31 PM

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

**JennK13** · 06-01-2010, 07:36 AM

3:
a trail bike (Trek Navigator 2.0)
a commuter (Giant Transcend)
my "all around" (Fuji Cross Comp)

**alimey** · 06-01-2010, 07:43 AM

6.5 I'm afraid - running out of excuses - but I don't have a hub-geared bike yet . . .

A road bike (Serotta)
A commuting bike (Principia)
A folding bike (Bike Friday)
An expedition bike (Trek hardtail mtb)
A full-suss mtb (Titus)
A fixie (Dolan)
1/2 a tandem (Trek)

**MartianDestiny** · 05-31-2010, 06:23 AM

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.

**ciao_bella** · 05-31-2010, 06:28 AM

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.

Ciao
