How many?
On the average how bikes do most people own here? I am working on another build right now and it got me to thinking. I have one complete bike built up, an extra frame lying around and a grip of parts for the second build. What about the rest of you?

i got three - down from 4. i'm thinking of shipping one to my parents house for when i go down there. that will leave me with 2, which is about all i can handle.
i've discovered that mutiple bikes do me no good. i tend to ride only one bike 99% of the time and use the spare for emergencies.

Bikes: several. blue. fun.
3 fix
1 road
(and 1 more track frame in a few short weeks... huzzah!)
each of my bikes have specific uses. fix1 has a brake and phils, is my beater/badweather commuter/streetracer. fix2 is my track/trainingfortrack frame (and in all honesty is also my Special Occasion frame, used similar to a special occasion dress). fix3 is my super upright riding commuter. road is for really freaking long rides or days when my knees are on strike. i ride them all, and each of them goes out at least a couple times a week. i don't have a favorite, though I think I will in a few weeks...
