How many bikes is enough for you?

I currently have a Megatower which in reality could and should be my only bike.

I also own
- DH bike which does a Morzine trip and a couple of uplift weekends a year. I justify still owning it by telling myself I'm saving by not battering my good bike on uplifts.

- Jump bike sees even less use, but it cost me £100 8 years ago so I don't mind it sitting in the garage unused in the hope I one day end up with somewhere to ride it nearby.

- Road bike was bought in a previous life for commuting, but now I WFH it's used for infrequent training rides and getting put on the turbo in lockdowns.

I'll get an e-bike when I see something I fancy available on Cycle to Work, perhaps replacing the DH. I'd love a nice road bike but have zero need for one!

I did have a browse for cheap trials bikes after reading the other thread. Perhaps that could replace the jump bike as an unused toy?

- newish orbea occam, allrounder full suss
- sonder transmitter: hardtail. Still got summer tyres on as I've ridden the occam through the slop this winter
- one one crossbike: cheap carbon. Done the 3 peaks race 3 times on this. Maybe again this year. Makes my shoulder hurt on the downhill, which is actually why I don't roadbike these days
- merkx roadbike: eight years old this one. Done the fred and euro trips. Dunno when I'll ride it again
- old roadbike on a wahoo kickr: has cost me about £50 for each short painful ride. Gave it a go I guess.
- lapierre zesty (deceased). Need to free up the shed room.
