Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

How many do you have?

Please post how many bikes you own-road, cross, moutain, whatever. List them all if you want, include pics, etc. There is no such thing as "too many" bikes, but I'd like to get an idea of how many bikes you guys have (to prove my own sanity)

I can think of 5 which are ridden with some frequency, and 4 others which are rarely ridden

Have had four at once.. these two are currently in commission:




This was in commission and just currently is in the attic:



Then there was a Trek Y-33 which was barely ridden before it cracked.

And this guy will be coming in on Monday!



And I have these two:


I wish. I demoed them. Either of them is worth 5x the car.

3.

Commuter - maybe turn it into a cross conversion...I'd just need some new shifters.
Road
Tri/TT

Had a 4th (mountain bike), but I sold it off. I'm in the city with no car, so getting out to the trails was too infrequent to warrant it taking up space in my apartment.

Bikes: Salsa Fargo Ti, Cannondale CAAD9, Carbonello Fixed Gear, Specialized Epic Disc

Trek 5900*
Cannondale CAAD4*
Cannondale 3.0 (fixed gear)*
Specialized Allez SE (steel)
Cannondale tandem
Specialized Epic (mountain)
Fuji Track Pro

So it's 7 for me. The * ones see the most action by far. Actually they are in the correct order for how much they are ridden. It's been a while since I've bought a new bike so I am looking to add to the group. Possibles are Giant TCR Advanced SL, Cannondale Super Six, Fuji SST, Ridley Noah or Helium.

Bikes: 2006 Redline Conquest Cross, 09 Trek Madone

I'm surprised at some of these numbers-you guys have a lot of bikes! I currently have 3-Trek Madone 4.7, Redline cross, and '95 Raleigh M60 MTB. Looking for a new mountain bike, the Raleigh scares me on the trails (falling apart)

Bikes: R5, Allez Sprint, Shiv

I got a Ridley Excalibur road bike, a Vassago Bandersnatch 29er built up as a monstercross and a BMC SSX in one domicile. In another, I have a Ridley Damocles, a Niner EMD9 for MTBing trips and a Surly LHT for touring. I just got a Ritchey Breakaway cross for travel as well. All get ridden regularly except the LHT (for a bunch of reasons, havent had time to do the extended tour I've wanted).

When I sell the Excalibur and once I get close to my TT target, I'll get a TT bike. That'll be it for me until I turn 40 in a few years, at which point I'll get myself a Cervelo S3, SRAM Red and really bling wheels
