Ratio of Bikes to Cars
 

Okay today I was thinking about my ratio of cars to bikes. (We are a middle aged couple with no small children living at home. ) We have one 1999 Ford Taurus between the both of us (we like to
sea kayak) and six bicyles in our basement. The bikes get way more use then the car.

Yeah...well my family has 4 cars and 2 bikes...both bikes are mine. I promise the cars get more use, not by my choice. I can't even convince my father to buy a 55 dollar walmart 10 speed

6:2 in favor of the bikes.

My family has one car, four bikes, three trail-a-bikes, three tricycles and two trailers. Plus two more bikes we just ordered, and probably another two within a few months. All the bikes are in the garage and the car stays out on the street.

Does a tandem count extra?

nope that's minus TWO!

:lol:

3 bikes 1 car.

3 bikes (one loaned out and one just sitting there) - ZERO cars.

4 to 1 ratio...........which translates to 8 bikes to 2 SUVeeees

3:2 in my garage but I keep trying to increase the former.

1:1 but the bikes are bound to multiply....

Gaa! Simplify your fractions! 6 bikes, 2 cars = 3:1 (Prof. Smit would get upset ;) )

1:1 for me, with plans to increase the ratio soon.

6:0 - Bikes

2 cars, 3 bikes, 2 people.

I'd like to ditch one car, but stuff is just so spread out here, and I'm not a strong enough rider yet.

2 road, 1 mountain, 1 bmx, 1 car, 1 truck

2:1 oooo The truck isn't used often though. It's what most trucks should be... a workhorse.

whoa - you live with 9 people? i think i would have a mental breakdown.

6 bikes, 3 cars, 2 canoes

7 bikes and two cars, plus two child trailers.

1 car and:

Me: 2 road bikes, 1 mountain bike, 1 BMX bike (but that's currently disassembled)
Wife: 1 Comfort bike
Son: 1 Mountain bike
Daughter: 1 small kid bike, 1 trailer bike, 1 trailer
