Hardly.

Two are for my 28 mile round trip commute. They're geared differently, depending on the wind conditions.

One is for keeping at work to ride to lunch on. No clipless. No rack. No computer. No fenders. Just easy-to-lock-up bike. That way I don't spend precious lunch time removing all the pilferable items from my bike.

The last one is essentially retired. I used it for about a year, but the frame was always tad small. After some modifications, a neighbor kid will probably be using it for going back and forth to school.

Also, I need to build at least one bike a year so my first grade students have something to paint.
