I own 3 bikes:

2007 Dahon Speed P8 - 20" folder
2010 Motobecane LeChampion SL Ti - road bike
2011 Scott SUB 10 - IGH/disc brake hybrid


My fiance also owns a Novara hybrid, but I wouldn't count that one for myself.

My wife and I have 29 operational bikes between us, soon to be 30 again when I take delivery of a bespoke Bill Holland titanium path racer to replace the ti path racer that cracked at a drive side chainstay weld. Breakdown: 6 road racers, 4 track, 6 MTB, 9 city bikes of various configurations (mostly 3-speeds), 2 mixtes, and 2 Schwinn beach cruisers. I also have two frames waiting to be built up, a 60s R.O. Harrison track frame, and an NOS 1990 Trek 930 MTB frame.

Filling out the mid-pack fodder with three bikes.
1. Geared '77 Schwinn Traveller III road bike w/rack and fenders for commuting/leisure.
2. Geared '05 Specialized Rockhopper Pro Comp MTB dedicated to the plethora of sweet single track nearby.
3. Geared '85 Trek 830 MTB with civilized tread, rack, and fenders for errands/commuting/beater/loaner.

Have over 10, this is the year I thin out the ranks.

Evidently I voted on this poll 6 years ago. Not sure what the head count was then. But it's 5 for me, 14 total in the garage. Family of 4.

not enough

Fun old thread here. I double-checked to make sure I hadn't already posted, and my new build is so close to being done that I'm going to count it: Five!

1964 Armstrong 3-speed
1987 Diamondback Ascent (drop-bar, fixed-gear conversion)
1987 Bianchi Sport SX (the new rando build)
1988 Bianchi Premio
1991 Bianchi Eros (my first road bike!)

My bikes:

Expedition Homebuilt (26” wheels, racks and fenders. Suffered crash damage, but frame alignment fixed it.)
Criterium Homebuilt (the criterium racing bike I built 35 yrs ago and rebuilt and repainted last year)
Jack Taylor Marathon (40 yr old Taylor)
Schwinn High Sierra Mtn Bike (1986) (purchased as a bare frame and rebuilt)
Hollands Touring (20 yr old touring bike to replace Taylor touring bike that was stolen)
Salsa Vaya (purchased as a frame and built up. Was intending to replace crash damaged expedition homebuilt)
Folding Homebuilt (built as a take-apart bike for travel)
Marin Mtn Bike (spare)

Wife's bikes:
Linda’s Trek
Linda’s Jack Taylor Touring
Linda’s Diamondback Sorento Mtn Bike
Raleigh 20 folding bike (modified into a derailleur bike for wife)

Multies:
Rene Herse tandem (built in 1962. Rebuilt in 1976)
Homebuilt tandem (built in 1980 to ride with my 5 yr old daughter)
Homebuilt triple (built to ride with both kids. Now I may be able to use it with my grandkids)

A couple of inexpensive mountain bikes as spares for visiting teenage kids.

-'12 All City Nature Boy
-'05 Ridley Crossbow (singlespeed build up, going to 1x9 soon)
-Leader 722ts singlespeed
-Pake Rum Runner singlespeed
-'80 Raleigh Gran Sport

even though i live in a valley, i love the challenge of attacking hills on a single. my morning commute is 5-10mi depending on route w/ about 500' of elevation. makes coming home much quicker though.

(wife's bikes, not counted for poll: Electra Amsterdam and a Walmart Huffy beach cruiser someone gave us)

1.) Road bike: Kona zing ('09)
2.) Old steel road bike: Motobecane Super Mirage ('79)
3.) BMX: Stolen Heater ('09)
4.) Cargo/kid carrier: Norco Bushpilot with chariot cheetah trailer
5.) Mountain Bike: Kona Stuff ('08)

Best biking vid, EVER.

All the links in my old post were dead and things have changed since 2009 although I am not sure if I have more or less now than I did then although the number is till in the high teens.



My Bikes

Have yet to update the page as I just found myself a Moulton and am not quite finished with it.

'88 Schwinn MTB turned into upright townie (soon to swap parts onto a '08 Cross Check frame).
'09 Specialized Singlecross built as commuter/brevet bike
'10 Rocky Mountain Flow-1 dirtjumper with RaceFace singlespeed drivetrain conversion from a Flow-2 model.
'11 Redline Conquest Pro built as SSCX racer
'12 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Comp EVO

'88 Trek 400 frame maybe going to get overhauled. It's pretty much beat, though.
'91 Paramount PDG Series-5 frame/fork
'08 Cross Check frame/fork
'10 Vassago Fisticuff frame/fork (demolished in crash) used as a "cowbell" at CX races.

I had two bikes, a mtb and touring bike. My trek 520 touring bike is my primary do everything bike now.

n=1

1. 1987 Schwinn Cimarron that I gave the "Rivendell" treatment.
2. 2009 Giant Seek 2
3. Nashbar mountain frame that I built into an 1x8 with a bunch of oddball parts laying around.
4. Nashbar SS 29er that I just picked up. I was going to buy a Salsa El Mariachi from a LBS, but I've recently become poorer than normal and couldn't swing the $1,050 clearance price versus the $399 Nashbar.

4 of my own

Nirve SS B-1 Cruiser
Trek FX 7.2 hybrid commuter/utility
Ridley Gladius Roadie
GT 29er geared MTB

Comfortably at S-1

At the moment, I technically own three. In reality, only two of them are for me though. (I'm tuning up a 1974 Juenet mixte for my mother in law, and haven't handed it off yet.)

2012 Schwinn Voyageur R21
1982 Team Fuji

Just got the Fuji, and am absolutely loving it. I suspect the Schwinn is going to be relegated to those days when I have to slog a lot of stuff, or on the days when the weather is a bit questionable out.

How often does one have to ride a bike for it to be considered a bike that "you actually ride"?

I own 4 total.

1. a giant boulder. has been just sitting in the back yard for 3 years now. I hate to think about it's condition.
2. is my GT and it gets action about once every 3-4 months when my other 2 good bikes are both down.
3. is my trek belleville. Now mostly junk thanks to me installing a nuvinchi n360 hub that is so inefficient I can no longer pop the front wheel off the ground. Used only as backup for my next bike.
4. My daily commuter, a Giant freerider city bike. It is ridden about 5-6 days a week. About 100 miles on average.

2 that I actually ride.
2010 Giant FCR3300. Bought last year second-hand for a steal. Last year didn't ride too much, but I've since modified it to be my quick bike, and I've ridden it a lot more this year.
2011 Giant FCR3500. Nearly 2 years old now. Has about 8000 miles on it. My touring/wet weather commuting/all around bike.

I'd love to add a lightweight road bike to the mix, but we have a very small apartment so I couldn't fit a third bike, and I don't want to get rid of either of the bikes I've already got. So no road bike for me.

i said 3 Scott Speedster 40, Motobecane Fanton CX, and Jamis 650B1

but i also have little kids bike for my son, Someday when he can reach the pedals all the way around.
