I have Four road and one commute bike, I am gating an ear bashing about only being able to ride one bike at at time, Etc etc Surely five is not to many , is it ?
1 comutte bike 1 best bike 1 cyclocross bike 1 XC full sus 1 hardtail ALL ridden hard. Just need N+ Fixie Single speed Tandem Race bike. Don't tell the OH.
The correct number of bikes to own is n+1 where n is the current number of bikes you own. There is no maximum.
=> n+2 is too many. Problem solved*
*assuming you don't ever buy two bikes at the same time, which does begin to look a little excessive
Your maths is sound. If I could get by without a car I would and get at worst get a cargo bike as an alternative
Currently I have three build, one boxed and another in bits scattered around the garage, the latter being the stealthy way of hiding it as it looks more like spare parts than a bike.
I know my sig is all wrong, but currently at 8, considering #9. Three full suspension MTB (one Ti, two Aluminium), 1 carbon hardtail, 2 alloy hardtails, one carbon roadie, and an old steel pub bike. Considering another carbon HT frame...
There were 11 in the garage at one point a few years back

There's no such thing as too many. As long as they have a use then they are appropriate purchases. I'm presently in double figures although the vast majority are cargobikes for my business, but still have a Focus CX, Stanton hardtail mtb, Kona pub bike, a Shand Stoater and am awaiting delivery of a steel Racer Rosa.
If I had to manage with one bike only I'd manage perfectly well wit my Larry vs Harry Bullitt cargobike.
Then again the missus has a Mercedes sat on the drive doing absolutely censored all since she stupidly got banned for drink driving just after Christmas, so she can hardly complain.
currently use 3 these get used every week road Hybrid MTB
but also have another 2 MTBs one is in storage the other i recently got out of storage for use but needs a few jobs doing first as soon as the LBS is open
