I'm confused! Why don't you just divide the number of bikes by the number of people? 
3 by that method (4 if you include my stationary gym bike) or by your formula 5 (6 if I count the gym bike).

18 (possibly going to either 19 or even 20 in the next few months) ... several family members are contemplating the n+1 ... though at least one of those might prompt a n-1 too!

Why not q=n+2m+p/3-2z where n=number bikes m=number of tandems p=number of tricycles z= number of panniers?

X= Z-Y(n+1)
Y is the number of people in the household who don't actively cycle.
So, the total number of people in the house, less the number who don't actively cycle, multiplied by n+1 which here has its accepted meaning, gives a notional ideal number of cycles in the household.
Reality chez Cube is 5 bikes in total. One child is content with the number of bikes she has, one is semi-content with his current bike but occasionally hankers after a big hit susser, so that would be n+0.5 and one has two bikes he uses regularly, plus one he wants to sell, so that he can fund the next project, which is n+1, or would be if n-1 would hurry up and sell, so must be written as n+2.
I think.

[QUOTE 1733859, member: 45"]Big numbers are more impressive.
You're just sore because your number us rubbish. And gym bikes don't count.[/quote]
Yeahbut ... if you were running an illegal immigrant smuggling scheme from your house but didn't own any bikes at all, with your formula you could still end up with a huge number!

I would go and count the number of bikes in the garage, but I can't get in!
I've got three bikes that won't fit into the garage, if that helps...

Is a bumber an n or a z or is it a special bike term for googles of bikes. Like, "how many bikes do you own?" "Oh loads, a whole bumber of them".
