Only three right now-
#1 is a Cycle Genius Falcon [recumbent], which is the long-distance road bike,
#2 is a RANS Fusion, which is a relaxed-geometry hybrid, and (with a rear rack and grocery baskets) is also the general running-around bike.
#3 is the first recumbent I bought, a Sun EZ-Speedster (the frame is a bit short for me and this bike is currently retired, awaiting its fate).

I had a few "normal" road and MTB bikes previously, but got rid of them as they became too uncomfortable to really enjoy. After I bought the first recumbent, I didn't think I'd ever buy another upright road bike--but a lot of recumbent riders said the RANS bikes were really nice to ride, so I got curious and ordered one--and it is true, they are nice. Very comfortable, and you can still cover good distances on them. Not at all like the Giant Revive league-stuff.

....I would probably own a MTB, except that I got no where off-road to ride that's conveniently close.
