More than a few, less than most. As far as deciding which bike to ride...depends on the clothes and helmet I am wearing or which bike is easier to take down from the rack.

I have three, so this sort of applies to me. I ride my Schwinn hybrid because it has shocks in the front that are in excellent working order. It rides the smoothest. For me, comfort is a very important thing to consider when choosing a bike.

I own 5, but only ride 2.
The two that I use are a 2012 Trek FX 7.5 and a 2007 Specialized Rockhopper.
I have one lugged steel frame - that's cracked and rusted. Haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with it.
The other two are box-store bikes that I bought years ago before I knew any better. Now they are loaner bikes, for when friends want to join in on a ride.
I don't yet have a road bike.

I ride the three recumbent bikes listed below. Plus, a Novara Big Buzz that I used to ride which is available for use by friends or family.

Long cruise or the occasional group ride: neo-retro steel race bike
Commuting, riding with the kids, just for fun: fixed gear
Errands, commuting, dirt: old mtb

I own 2...
1. An early 1970s Motobecane Grand Record which I don't ride anymore and I'm thinking of selling.
2. A 2011 Felt Z85.

three,
a Soma that was for light cc touring, but it doesn't fit well (because my LBS fitter sucks)
a chepo single speed conversion beater that I ride anywhere that doesn't require gears (I ride it everywhere except to Horseshoe bay)
a mixte that is probably too small for me, that I can't ride comfortably more than 15km but I'm having a hard time letting it go because DANG I feel like an awesome mofo riding around on that thing. There is just something special about riding a vintage upright bike in a dress.
