I have one of each - (in order of acquisition) - mountain bike, sport touring bike, long wheelbase recumbent, short wheelbase recumbent, classic Italian road bike, fat tire touring/trekking bike - I think there are still some more categories I need to complete my collection.

Two. One Airborne Manhattan Project, which is going on a ride in 35 minutes , and an old, but still functional Cannondale M700. I want one more, but my wife, who usually leaves me and my purchases completely alone, has strongly suggested that I need to sell one of my bikes in order to buy another. Sad. Soooo sad!

I can't remember the last time I sold anything, let alone my motorcycles, of which I have 8 or so, along with 4 bicycles, and the wife has 4, and a tandem.

I'm the original owner of this 1973 Paramount;
That is a beautiful collection. I especially loved the Schwinn and the Trek.

That’s fewer than I thought there were….go figure!!
This week on Hoarders, Buried Alive...

j/k. I'm jealous!

I'm down to 3 now (of my own, total count for family is 8).

I have my road bike (2008 Fuji Roubaix RC)


My commuter (2007 Schwinn Le Tour GS)


and my rigid MTB (1992 Diamond Back Ascent EX).


Would like to add a vintage steel roadie and a tandem some day if I find the right deal but what I've got fills my needs well.

Somewhere between "a few" and "too d**ned many," depending on who you ask.
