I LOLed at "quiver" - it's the association with the skill and heroism of an archer that I just can't fit with the overweight desk-jockey keyboard-warrior.
"fleet" as in "Fleet of carpark battleships" would be my (now) second choice.

I'm liking "crank" or "straddle"
A stoke of bikes? A gnarl?

Always been fleetfor me, but I do like the Overdraft suggestion. It wouldn't really apply to my collection of mongrels but how about a Bling.

Nothing, it's just prosaic, tedious and unimaginative when there are so many slightly camp collective nouns you could use instead.

Post-ironic, slightly wanky collective nouns for bikes. Don't think I can top "quiver", to be honest.
What about:
A suite?
A 'plex?
A pod?
