I have 8 in my garage. I don't feel like a hoarder...but maybe this is what a hoarder feels like. Hmmm....
#1 Road Bike - Newest road bike in my stable. Ridden 1-3x per week.
MTB (hardtail) - Newest MTB in my stable. Ridden 1-2x per week.
Gravel bike - Most recent bike purchase, and most versatile machine. Ridden 1-2x per week.
Singlespeed MTB - 20 years ago, this was my XC race bike. Converted to SS for something different. Ridden occasionally.
#2 Road Bike - 20 year old race/training bike. Currently lives on my trainer and gets used multiple times per week during the cold/wet/dark season.
#3 Road Bike - 20 year old race bike. I won my biggest race on this bike, later sold it, and had the opportunity to buy it back. Rebuilt with its original parts. Ridden rarely.
#4 Road Bike - Vintage steel road bike, originally belonging to my dad. After being ignored/neglected for a long time, I rebuilt it in early 2020. Ridden very rarely.
Townie Bike - Built for my kid to take to college a year ago. It didn't get taken, and hasn't been touched since.
