But all seriousness aside, there is no confusion over the definition of N. It comes from the law of N+1.
The number of bikes you need is N+1, where N is the number of bikes you have now.
I am a purist, I guess, as I do not include my wife or my son's bikes in my N count. Nor would I count a bike that I bought for the purpose of fixing up and selling (unless I changed my mind and decided to keep it for myself).
