6

Singlespeed
BMX
Road bike
Tourer

Fixie/SS - needs a SFN and top cap (unridable)

456 - needs a rear spoke fitting and the tyres swaping from 2.5 supertackies to something more XC (rideable though)

'chopper' - define rideable, it's an aquired handling taste

2 out of 3 for me, the one that doesn't is my old 90's mtb being kept for no reason apart from memories ๐Ÿ˜‰ no intention of getting it running anytime soon. One day though I will.

7 out of 7 (assuming I'm brave / daft enough to ride the hybrid with a turbo specific tyre on the rear)

I think I'm 1 out of 4. Plan to get the other 3 fully working in the next few weeks.

(edit 0 out of 4 as I need to fix a spoke on the rigid inbred damm)

4 out of 4

Road bike
CX bike
Hardtail
BMX

But to be fair, the first 2 are the only ones that get used at the moment.

All of 'em, though my Chorus 11 RH shifter has been temporarily repaired with a rubber band after the spring in the paddle broke, seems to shift better that way...

2 from 3. I could ride the third but it has no front brake, so I wouldn't want to ride it anywhere fun.

Two out of three bikes in working order. The commuter is sitting in a pit of indecision, as I don't know quite what to do with it. I might buy a cheap road bike to replace it. The biggest issue is me, I had shingles at the end of February and am still waiting to fully recover That combined with my lardiness due to lack of exercise and old age doesn't help.

2/2 for me.

Perhaps 3/3 if I wanted to nick the other halfs Myka Sport, which is very nice to ride.

If topping tyres up is allowed (my TT bike has latex tubes so always needs its tyres topping before riding - right now they're completely flat having not been ridden in months), and presumably also jobs which take less time like putting a QR front wheel back on or removing from the turbo, then 8 or 9/11. I'm not quite sure if the CX bike has wheels with tyres on. A couple of old mountain bikes in bits awaiting me being made redundant to find time to put them back together (I'm actually kind of looking forward to the idea!)

Though I see some are counting bikes in their garage which they don't ride, in which case 12 or 13/16.

3ish out of 4 (my HT is tyreless just now, but they're in the cupboard so it could be ready to ride in 10mins).

Includes wife/kids bikes

Endorfin OK
Nicolai needs forks
Patriot OK
Kona DH x 3 OK
Norco DH OK
456 x 4 all OK
Turner x 2 OK
Dahon OK
Giant OK
Klein bit wobbly in places but rideable
Specialized OK
Scott OK

16 3/4 out of 18 is OK, I think

Not all the 16 3/4 get ridden much, and 6 of them are out in France anyway.

Of my nine all except one are rideable now, although a couple would benefit from a bit more air in the tyres, and one of them isn't shifting cleanly between the front rings.

All other other bikes in the garage (2 for SWMBO and one each for my kids) are also useable currently.

2/4

mtb and road are fine

SS needs a new rear brake, CX is strapped to the garage ceiling.

SS and CX are also in a different country.

1 out of 3.

One is waiting for a new wheel to turn up and the other has a rear hub that's almost knackered, a shock to be serviced and headset bearings to be replaced.

2.9 out of 3 for me. MTB, Road and Pub are all fine but the MTB needs some tinkering, hence missing 0.1.

Of my 5, one has been split to sell off as parts, and my BMX just needs the pedals putting on and some air in the tyres, less than 5 mins work easily.

So realistically, 4/4 (not counting the one I'm selling), which is pretty much just about the first time ever for me! Downsizing the MTB collection has helped drastically with this percentage for definite though...

Eight out of ten in total, four out of five for me
One GT hardtail with a flat, one onza trial bike lurking in the garage that's looking very sorry for itself with two flat Tyres and leaky hs33's, I'll sort it one day ๐Ÿ˜ณ

All of them are ready to roll.

Though the tandem is just crying out for a custom built full suss frame. ๐Ÿ˜†

all of them though they are stored with wheels off only the commuter/roadie could be ridden as is
I would need to swap the GD over as well...bargain own multiple bikes get ine dropper post and share between your bikes as cheaper than 4 ok posts and 4 ok seats

4 of 5, although the 5th only needs handlebar grips & brakes set up, but that will have to wait till I've mopped up the blood after slicing a finger open whilst setting up the gears ๐Ÿ™

3/3 although my mtb needs the stem/bars straightened.

Got 2 more bikes back home, don't have a clue what state they're in. Haven't seen them for almost 3 months.
