That is impressive. And I thought I had too many bikes with 5 in the garage. Wish I had the space to collect that many bikes.

Oh, and 5 for me. My wife asked me recently if I was going to look for a vintage bike to build up. Out of the blue, really, and I replied "not unless it's something exquisite".

Either that or he's no longer married.

Last time I asked you if there was any chance I could borrow a bike you said you didn't have a spare one

3 for me!

I've got 3 bikes, Schwinn World Sport, Scwinn World Touring, Motobecane Nomade. I love always having a few because it allows me to have some specialties. I have a daily rider, a distance rider and one to wrench on!

No, what he said was that he didn't have any loaners!

Hello everyone. First post!

I own two. A 1990 Schwinn Voyageur touring bike I inherited and reactivated for long distance duty, and a 2014 Norco Indie hybrid for commuting and local rail trails since its equipped with wider tires than the touring bike.

3. I have a Panasonic MC1500 drop bar conversion which is mostly a commuter and backup for the road. As a note, usually running 700c x 25s. Have a Fuji Arcadia 2x7; I know what people say but it is lightened up some and is a nice road bike. Then the newer one is the beach cruiser, which hitch in some ways was an accident because it was part of the deal when we found my wife’s cruiser. May get a newer model road or cyclocross someday, but am fairly content as is.
