The question was what reasonable family person owns 7 bikes to him/herself, not just more than one, which implies less than 7. 7 is indeed on the unreasonable side for someone with a family, bike mechanics notwithstanding. I've known some multimillionaires in both OC and Santa Barbara who were all really into the outdoor scene, yet the cyclist enthusiast of the family didn't own more than 3 bicycles to himself. I think I've seen an episode of Hoarders where someone had 7 bikes.
