Just 5.  2x tri, only 1 is used now. 1x cross, usually just in winter. 1x mtb, hardly ever now, 1 road used about 1/2 as much as current tri bike.

Just two.  A hybrid mountain  bike for stylin' or just getting around town on.  My training and racing bike is a Quintana Roo Private Reserve.  I would like a road bike, but I will not drop any serious money on one.   I have no interest in group riding or competitive cycling.  Nothing against it really, it's just not my cup of tea...

If you ask me how many boats and/or kayaks I have, well, 

Hello, my name is Michael and......

3 - All get used

Road bike for training and racing
Mountain bike for off-road
Cross bike for general commuting and putting around with friends.

In a perfect world I'd also have a Tri bike and a something with a single speed as well.

2 - Kestrel Talon for tris and a cheap-o Scott S-40 for kicking around on.

The Scott didn't get much love during a year of training for Wildflower and two IMs, but it's taking me to Stage 8 of the Tour of California tomorrow.

Subject: RE: How many bikes do you have?

I only have one, my tri bike, Felt S22.  Would like to get a mountain bike since I gave my old one to my sister in law.

For those that have all these different bikes, can I ask why? I KNOW how expensive these things can get...and I know a lot of these brand names are in the high end of bikes....so I am just curious as to why you need more than 1??

Don't get me wrong...everytime I go into a bike shop, I'm like, "Oooh, that one is nice, or I want that one...." but I guess I live under the assumption of I train on what I will race on, so I only need one???
