just wondering how many people own more than one bike and how many you own, or even want to own

bring this up because, basicly I'm moving house soon, with my mum (i'm still young n' poor) and she keeps ranting how its not normal to have so many bikes, most "normal" people only have one, but to me most people who are serious about bikes have more than 2, i really don't see a problem with it either

at the moment i have 6 bikes, 2 frames and a few wheels, if i had the money and space it would easily be over 10, all fully ride-able

I own one at the moment as you know Wink but I will have 2 by the end of the year. Our small spare room in our flat will have 3 bikes in total; my gf's bike, the Viking retro bike and my soon to be built T2 road bike.

In a couple of years I will also have another XC bike so that'll make it 4 bikes.


Ideally I would own 3 to myself; a roadie,a retro roadie and an XC bike as they're the only disciplines I ride.

Other people ride/own DJ/Street bike, BMX, XC bike, road/fixed gear bike, DH/Freeride/4X bike I've seen it on PB myself, so you're not the only one who owns a fair few bikes.

Two at the moment.

In future I'd also like a road bike for commuting, as well as a light trail/XC/AM bike, for everything my Kona doesn't apply for but is not right for the Brave.

I have 3 bikes and the other 3 people in my house have 1 each so we have 6.

If I could have any number of bikes I would have
1 4x bike
1 dj bike
1 lightweight xc hardtail bike
1 am full sus
1 fr full sus

Been meaning to get a fixie and a XC bike, but those are plans for the future.

I also have a super small XC frame and should be getting two old road frames.

I just want one so I can try to sit on the bars and ride it like a unicycle.

I just think they're pointless. They're just taking a step back with technology, I'd much rather have a freewheel thanks Razz
