Therefore N+1 is the number of bikes desired!
Correct as far as it goes.

Now tell me how you define a "bike".

Is a bike in a box a bike or a storage problem?
If you have a frame and all of the parts but they aren't assembled, is that a bike?
What if you have everything but pedals? Does it still count as a bike? Lots of new bikes come with no pedals.

I HATE when people ask how many bikes I own because I don't know the answer. My wife thinks that she knows, but she's wrong.
