How many bikes do you own?

[Theseus]

You have two bikes, until you can actually ride it the other one is classified as 'a pile'.

Maybe we need another poll to find out how many "piles" people have.

I have 8 bikes in my garage - 4 are mine, 1 is brother's, 1 is son's, 2 are my daughters'.

I think you can only have one pile...

I've counted the fourth, tho' I couldn't just pump it up and ride away on account of no pedals. I suppose I could push it along with my feet like one of those 200 year old boneshakers...

So

Koga hybrid (no pedals)

Carlton racer (loan bike)

Vitus 979 for when I need gears

Dawes 653 fixie ('my bike')

I've consulted the How Many Bikes Do You Own thread Bicycle Classification and Approval Commitee about your proposal to include bikes which are complete except for pedals and they have narrowly accepted.

Well done. You have four bikes.

 

[StuAff]

Currently down to three after the Cadenza got nicked. Viner Magnifica (best bike), Condor Squadra (not quite best bike), Dahon Speed Pro TT (best folding bike).

What does the Approval Committee say about the loan bike? How can he 'own' the loan bike?

Good point, bust him down to 3!

The commitee assumed that this is a bike which is owned by the correspondent and loaned to friends.

Well I bloody well hope so else there'll be trouble.

I wonder how many members of CC actually have no bikes at all?
Maybe once everyone who has one or more bikes has voted the remainder can be outed as not having a bike.
