Space, money and the limited time available to enjoy multiple bikes keep my collection small. I live in the city of Chicago and do not have a garage, and storing bikes in most garages here is not truly secure anyway.
I could own just one bike, and I rode my cyclocross bike 5000 miles in 2009. But I now have 5 bikes.
2006 Giant Cypress Hybrid, I need to sell this
2008 Soma Double Cross DC, This is my long-distance bike and fitness/fun-ride bike
1973 Schwinn Paramount P10, This Reynolds 531/chrome lugs & stays/Campy Record bike is sentimental: I'm the original owner
1987 Trek 400D, This is being upgraded to a Shimano 2X10 105/Ultegra/Dura Ace drivetrain and will be my commuter
I also just purchased a new Planet X (made by Lynskey) Titanium road bike frame as my next project.
I really need to sell one or two bikes in May.
