I've currently got 4 bikes and am adding another 1/2 a bike (frame, headset, cables, wheels). Two of the 5 bikes will share drive train components so only 4 will be rideable at any given time.

Bikes: Many
These are the ones that still reside in a small room under the steps at my parent's house. Many of these have lived there since the mid-90's. They said I could store them there since they're not in the way. I think they're afraid I will never come to visit if I brought them all home.

Bikes: To many to list. I like them all!
Between my wife and I we are at 43 bikes ready to ride. The basement is full and the front room has 14 single bikes that we favor and a tandem. I don't drink or smoke so a man has to have some-kind of vice.

Looking dam good...
We on the same page... 
I am into C&V bikes, and just the aquisition of C&V bikes (buying)is a thrill by itself. However, I saw my collection growing, so I made a deal with the wife that we each take one of the other bedrooms for our personal room. Glad I did that, because she gave her spare bedroom to a family member and I quckly put bike racks around mine. For my 13 bikes, I have a full bedroom.. thank you kindly.. Not a large room, but it can easily hold 20 bikes and still room for my computer desk and chair..
My advice, if you plan on more than 6 bikes, stake a full bedroom, and once you get it, never reliqish it.

Bikes: Nothing amazing... cheap old 21 speed mtb
I have a small two bedroom apartment on the fourth floor we used as an english acadeny. Right now irs a kids play area and office for me. I could get 100 bikes in there but I find the four that I ride do what I need. Unless I have a specific purpose I don't plan on adding more.
Improving or replacing what I have, but I can only ride one at a time. My kid yas an awsone little custom folding bmx/folder/mtb. I Have a bike ready for my youngest, and my wife has two that she never rides.

Check out this local bike guys garage and both sides filled. Dude just pieces bikes together and sells them. Every time I stop by there to ask about parts he says he doesn't have anything (punk). I snapped this pic the one time I wandered into his back yard.
