As a basic toolkit, you'll need:

Best bike/racer

Cross bike (x 2 if it's muddy)

MTB

Pub Bike

Tourer

Winter trainer

Touring bike

Track bike

That's 9

Oh, and BMX is an olympic sport now (everywhere except BonjWorld) so a BMX?

DOn't get me started on Bicycle Polo!

 

[Noodley]

err...4
Bianchi Via Nirone..., my favourite, currently very sick with a broken frame, soon to be replaced under warranty.
Raleigh Chimera...now my winter bike.

We should form a Nirone/Chimera owners club

Orbea Onix - my nice roadbike.
Lemond Alp DeHuez - older steel model, will be used for club runs at winter.
Pompino - fixed.
Giant Trance - frame built up with my own odd preference of parts.
Genesis SS - self build.

They all get used as and when I feel like a change/depending on weather.

you're almost right, except you've got two tourers & no fixed or work bike?

 

[hubgearfreak]

& a classic or two

 

[longers]

Sirrus for pretty much everything
Dawes Edge for gathering dust
Fondriest Madone De Campiglio for quicker rides
An early 70's racer of unknown origin from the tip for making good next year

 

[HLaB]

I've got three and use three but I think I need another one if only I had room.
Bianchi C2C 928 Veloce, the best bike,
Spesh Sirrus, fast and reliable,
Ridgeback Velocity, Commuter.

1 mtb and 1 road bike

I don't get all these people with umpteen road bikes. What can one do that the other can't...
same to a lesser extent with MTBs really.

Join the club, mate. So far, it's me and you taking on the rest of the world.

Erm, let's see:

The Galaxy. Well, it was a 1988 Galaxy once. All that's original now are the frame (but not the paint) and the brake cantilevers.

The 'bent. Built on a lightly modified Bentech frame.

The fixie (also known as the flying banana). Various bits on a nicesih old Peugeot lugless steel frame, modified with track ends and the surplus braze-ons removed.

The mountain bike - a revived Marin Palisade Trail from the late 80s.

The Brompton. Well you've got to have one of those, haven't you? Very useful for gigs in places with no parking.

And my latest toy, an 80s Moulton AM7.

The 'bent and the Galaxy do most trips between them, but the Moulton is getting more and more time on the road...

The Missus can't complain - she's got three bikes. And two cars!

 

[Aperitif]

Veneto for commuting - road bike with a triple etc although I never change from the 39x14 The most used bike.
Look 361, carbon, triple chorus/centaur etc for 'best'
Colnago Super - Columbus - nice new bits on where they were worn..
Falcon 10 speed etc from late 70s - a restoration project - one day

If it's good enough for the pub, it's good enough for work.

Track bikes have a fixed wheel.

The tourer is for longer more comfortable rides. Touring bike for full on F&R pannierred caping trips.
