I own three but only one is up and running! Sometime this spring I'm going to take my toolbox and learn to fix bikes.... Hope to get at least one of them up and running as a backup.0

How do you do that! I never could ride a unicycle.0 -
How do you do that! I never could ride a unicycle.
I learned as a kid and just never forgot. The method I learned was to put the tire against a curb with the dominant pedal back toward you. Then just stepping up on the pedal keeps the tire against the curb, and you pivot up into the saddle. Continuing that momentum makes you lean a bit forward, and you just pedal to keep the wheel underneath you. It seems impossible at first, but each attempt you get closer and closer until it just works. Eventually you'll be able to mount on level ground.
If you've got one to experiment with, give it a try. You'll drop it hundreds of times, but kept at it.

Right now 5.

N+1...0 -
So the household number has risen from 5 to 7 fairly recently - but one is for sale and one is in pieces so that's better, right?

Also a firm believer in N+1
I have 7 and I'm dreaming about #8 right now, and if you count my spin bike 8 and I'm dreaming about #9 right now.
Trek Road
2 Raleigh MTBs (one old, one new)
Raleigh Tandem
Melon fold
Touring bike that I built (my current favorite)
Old Sears beater (use it at the beach)
Lemond RevMaster spin bike
I'm examining the possibility of a long tail bike.0 -
When asked how many, I always said "more than I need, but less than I want". With this last one, I think that I'm getting to the enough stage.

"more than I need, but less than I want"
That's always been my answer, too.0 -
Lemond RevMaster spin bike
OBJECTION!
A Lemond Revmaster is NOT a bicycle

Our daughter has three bikes: 1)Trek bike trailer (when we all go around doing our family bike trails) 2) Normal training weel bike and 3) balance a bike. Then we have an extra old road bike that we lend to friends (in conjuction with the other MTB) when they come visit.

How do you like the EMD? I couldn't decide between that and the Air 9 - went with the Air 9 and hated it. Sold it to fund a waltworks, which should be ready in about 6 weeks.0 -

To tell the truth, I haven't ridden it off-road yet. I recently traded my Scott Scale 29er for it. I don't ride MTB nearly as much as I once did. Gravel grinding is my go-to poison these days (thus the new Giant TCX).
Congrats on the upcoming new Walt. I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that. I heard he had a kid a while back and shutdown the fab shop. He's a peculiar bird, but knows his stuff!0 -

Very nice. My guy just got a 9zero7 and he's just like a happy little kid!0
