How many bike have you got

mprichard7

Do you use one for going into town and one for a touring ride in the country

webboo

I don’t go in to town just through it.

StillGoing

Too many. One could do with going. Even our 5yr old has two bikes, a hybrid and a race bike.

Thanks for replyingIve got hybrid bike at moment use it for town use as well but not happy parking it up, but then if I get another bike double up with the lights etc . It’s a it of a faff , interested what every one else does

I’m down to just 2 now. A trick 2017 Specialized Allez Elite and a 2019 Boardman Air 9.6 that’s not stock anymore 😎.

Earlier this year I flogged my lovely carbon finished Dolan to my brother and sold a nice Boardman mtb on Gumtree.

In my loft I’ve got a carbon Specialized frame awaiting a paint job and building and a Boardman Hybrid comp frame that also wants to be built up.

Four. Hardtail MTB, winter road bike, gravel bike and best road bike. They all get used for their respective jobs - sometimes I choose which type of ride I fancy then take the right bike, sometimes I decide I want to ride a certain bike and go somewhere appropriate. I have seat bags on the MTB and gravel with tubes and levers, a bottle cage toolkit I swap across the roadies, a Wahoo mount on all of them and moveable lights for the drop-barred ones. The MTB has a dedicated light setup. They all have SPD pedals. Wheels are all dedicated to each bike as they all run a different tyre and/or brake setup, despite all being 700c/29er with QR.

Before I answer this question, are you my wife or an agent of hers?

The official answer is 'some'.

At the moment I've got a CX bike, a titanium road bike I use for commuting (rack and guard mounts), a carbon road bike for weekends, a TT bike for triathlons, an old hybrid converted to singlespeed that I use for going to the train station and pootling around with the kids, and I've currently got a spare aluminium road bike (was replaced as commuter by the ti) which I'm unsure what to do with.

One. Two sets of wheels - one for speed, one for gravel and muck.

I have 4 bike.

Carbon road bike, steel winter road bike, turbo bike and hardtail MTB.

haydenm

4 mountain bikes (hardtails, trail bikes and enduro), 1 BMX, 1 gravel bike and 1 road bike. There might be more somewhere as the garage is a bit of a mess at the moment.

Wheelspinner

Down to only half a dozen at the moment, from a peak of 11 a few years ago. Tempted to pick up another frame or two because I have a load of spare parts not being used...

step83

Three in use at the moment

Ti road bike (summer/best bike)
Gravel bike (crap weather/winter/go anywhere bike)
Turbo/commuter bike (sometimes used for training on real roads too)

Repaired carbon frameset hanging up while I decide what to do with it
XC bike boxed up as no space, plus gavel bike covers about 90% of its duties.

justifys

I prefer is one the best.

rwoofer

This is forcing me to do a mental count:
- 2 x 90s MTB, one as a pub bike, other as spare
- brompton
- Genesis Equilibrium as a commuter
- Cannodale Supersix Evo HM rim brake as lightweight summer bike
- Cervelo R3 Disc as allround/allyear road bike
- Fairlight Secan Adventure Bike
- Voodoo Bizango MTB

That'll be 8 bikes. Oh dear, can't possibly justify that, but apart from the spare 90s MTB they all get regular use.

(also have a BMC GF02 endurance frame, spare components, so would that take it to 9?)

navrig2

Not as many as I would like, more than my wife thinks is reasonable and more than my wife thinks I have

thecycleclinic

I have lost count. Possibly 24 built up but there are three frames waiting to be built. Oh if I buy the grass track bike of the club its 25.

I need a larger garage.

pblakeney

I have one bike, and many bikes.
To answer the intended question (😉), 3. Good weather, bad weather and off road.

5, although 1 is destined for the tip and another is on long term loan to a colleague because I wasn't using it.

I have a cheap mtb which I made into a singlespeed for going to the train station/shops. All of my bike lights attach with rubber straps, so swapping them between bikes isn't that much of a faff.

mbrig11

I have a specialissima and a venge. Choices, choices!
