I have 2 bikes
Specialized Tarmac
Specialized Rockhopper0 -
2-- My daily commuter bike and my road bike for speed. If I was stupid rich I'd also get a mountain bike and a cyclocross bike.0

I would really like a fat tire bike!! Since the ground is covered with snow for 6 months of the year I think it is a necessity.
They are even MORE fun in summer! I've had one for about 3 years now, it's been a blast.0 -
I have 4. 3 of which I ride regurarly and one I might get rid of.
Felt z5 road, Giant Anthem Mountain, and Specialized Sirrus hybrid/commuter. The fourth is an old Fuji hardtail that I haven't ridden since I got the Giant.
I wish to acquire a Gunnar touring/cross/sport bike (haven't decided, but it would be my new commuter/century bike); a 650b all-mountain like the new Giant Trance or maybe Santa Cruz, and a 24/26" BMX style for riding around with the kids.
ps. Reading this thread makes me happy.
pps. Here's the actual "rule" http://www.velominati.com/the-rules/#12
While the minimum number of bikes one should own is three, the correct number is n+1, where n is the number of bikes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of bikes owned that would result in separation from your partner.0 -

The second part of this rule is incorrect, and only illustrates poor priorities. I wish they'd remove that.0 -

Indeed! Rule #110 -

Lol, great point. Unfortunataly, I don't make the rules, I just enfoce them.0 -
Me: Just 2 and I need to get rid of one.
Husband: 4. Race mountain bike, longer travel FS mountain bike, Cyclocross commuter bike, broken cyclocross commuter bike (that needs to go in the recycle bin).
So we have 6 adult bikes in our garage. And 5 kids' bikes (and only 3 kids). Plus a bike kid trailor. And zero cars in there. And it's a 2 car garage. Le sigh.0 -
Oh how I do love bikes. I have a few....
I have a Niner Air 9 Mountain Bike that I use for races
I have a Redline Monocog 29er single speed
A Salsa Mukluk fat bike
I still have my old Kuwahara BMX bike
Also my son has 2 bikes a BMX bike and a Airborne mountain bike
I have a list of bikes I want to buy. And another dream list of bikes that I will buy when I win the lottery. I really want to get a CX bike but that was before I road a full squish long travel XC bike. That might be the next purchase. Better start saving my pennies.0 -

Though a friend of mine is selling his old, mid 80's Trek road bike. I think I'm going to buy it and set it up as a commuter. Tired of putting a seatpost rack and panniers on my Fuji.0 -

funny how people put all in to their particular hobby,
i only have 1 bike and it will probably stay that way for a while (as much as i would like to get another). just an everyday mtb/road hybrid 21 gear jobby.
however, when i was doing high level ten pin bowling i had 4 balls, shoes with interchangable soles and a whole bunch of other equipment most people wouldn't understand.
i also have 2 bbq's with a vision of getting another 2.
gotta love diversity of the world0 -
It's not my Hobby, its my Life.
Oh - and there's a new addition to my earlier list ordered.
Cannondale CAADX 105 Disc Cyclocross bike.
(Swore I'd never race cyclocross again, and I've no intention to get back to the hour and a lap with cowbells, but this particular "Soft Crosser" looks like it'll make a good disk braked winter hack come light tourer, plus something for a little light trail riding in summer conditions where the MTB is just "too much gun")0 -

I think that formula is d-1 (where d=no. of bikes that will result in a divorce)
I was laughing so loud when I read that my technician came to see what was up. :laugh: :laugh: After my conversation with my wife on Monday and mentioning snow bikes, I'm pretty certain I've reached D-1.

Three bikes, two road and one mountain.
One Trek - Road (My bad weather bike)
One Focus - Road (My good weather bike)
One Kona - Mountain (My who cares what the weather is bike)0 -
Three, all mountain bikes.
Orange Five - The fun bike to bull doze through the rough stuff (140mm alu full suss)
Orange P7 - This is somewhere between the other 2 (140mm steel hardtail)
On One Lurcher - My race bike for the real mile munching. (100mm carbon hardtail)
When discussing why you need more than one bike, remind them about golf clubs. Sure you could go round a golf course with only a putter but it's going to take a while.0 -
I'm shopping for a road bike to make sibling for my Kona Honky Inc.
For commutes, I don't ride my own bike:

CitiBike? I've never heard of it. Then again, I live in a place where it's winter 5 months out of the year.0

It's NYC's new bike sharing program. A huge swath of the city is dotted with bike docks like these (with 12-40 spaces). Annual membership is $95, and allows for unlimited rides up to 45 minutes long. It easly allows me to commute, run errands, run around town without dealing with or woring about my bike, and it has saved me a ton of money, as I ride the subway much less.
I don't have the data, but I've seen numbers that say it's the largest, most used bike share system in the world, and we're just in phase 1, having launched this spring.
We'll see how much the bikes get ridded in January... Especially when NYC streets are puddles with dark grey slush.0 -
How cool is that? I'm guessing the bikes are easily adjusted so that lots of body sizes can ride.0

I think the CitiBike might be a little way behind this public bike scheme .... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangzhou_Public_Bicycle 0

Wow!! Way behind that. I did spend all of 30 seconds looking for current CitiBike's usage stats, but I care rarely be bothered with anything not on the first page of google results...How cool is that? I'm guessing the bikes are easily adjusted so that lots of body sizes can ride.
Only the seat height adjusts. As it's meant to be a utilitarian ride from Point A to point B there's no need for a micro-managed fitting.0
