Your Fleet. How many do you ride each week?

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

Race bike has gotten most of the saddle time lately, but today I rode my ol' steelie. My FG is stripped down and parted out on my workbench right now, and I haven't been on my CX bike in months, although I will probably take it up to Tahoe to ride trails next weekend.

All three, at least once a week.
Weather permitting.

I have 4, I usually ride 3 on a good week.
1. Commuter
2. Road bike
3. Gravel/cross bike

I have a fixed gear as well, but it only comes out occasionally.

In NJ I have a climbing bike with alloy rims for braking control (Addict), a bike with deep CF rims for group riding in flat areas (Parlee), a rain/winter bike with fenders (Trek), and a hardtail mtn bike (another Trek). In NM I have a heavy duty road bike (CDale SuperX) and a mtn. bike (Titus RacerX). I generally don't ride more than 2 different bikes in a week, but I do ride all of them. The SuperX has the best cross functionality, but the Addict is the most fun to ride.

i ride all 3 good bikes when its dry and my commuter for rainy times. i dont have really fancy bikes but i like to keep the better ones clean and gunk free. ive got a kona paddy wagon, built up steel lemond and a 2010 trek 2.1 which i guess is my "better" bike. my commuter is a trek 1000.

One. I gave my old bike to my son (it was better than anything we could buy him new). I have used it in pinch, but so far my steel roadie has been my do-all bike.

It all depends on weather, wind direction, mood (gravel or road), training goals, activity and what next weekend's race is.
