Make me feel better please.
I've just bought another bike for £40 as a shopping bike which now takes my tally upto 4 bikes which are 2 hardtails, my first ever mountain bike from 1989, and now this rigid mountain as a shopper.
Running out of space as I've no garage 😳
1 x Road Bike;
1 x Singlespeed everything bike; and
1 x Full Sus MTB.
one.
a on one 29r set up in touring mode. so so ugly.
Bouncy toy,
Hardtail,
Crosser/commuter.
8
4 for me, 7 in a house of 2 people though
I have 1 play bike (full sus), 1 trail bike (full sus), my PA (hardtail, gets a lot of abuse) and a road bike.
GF has a full sus, hardtail and road bike.
I would say that 4 is fine.
I could find a gap for a couple more bikes, however death would result
4
Single speed HT
Big FS
Road
Plans for 1 maybe 2 more 😕
Too many, but really want another 😕

another cross frame to build into single speed commuter
Want a 29er hard tail too
Too many?
6, and enough parts to make another. But still not enough.
Isn't the equation for the ideal number of bikes read as x+1, where x equals the current number of bikes owned? 🙂
5.5 for me. Hardtail awaiting groupset to be trail worthy, short-travel FS, steel framed fast-tourer, cross bike and CAAD8 racer. Too many good 2nd hand deals out there 🙄
EDIT - that equation can also be read as S -1, where S is the number of bikes it'd take for your missus to show you the door..
1 without engine, 2 with
3 road bikes (one winter, one summer, one that lives in spain for holiday use), a pompetamine for commuting, a hardtail, a hybrid I never use and two wrecks that really need to be binned because there's nothing salvageable left on them.
My OH has a similar number. And I've currently got my nephew's new islabike in the front room because he's only getting it for his birthday at the end of the month.

If it's cheap enough to leave in the back garden instead of in the shed then it doesn't really count. Using this rule I have 2 bikes.
