A cheap cant-remember-what road bike.
Replaced that with a 2009 Specialized Allez.
And had a Singlecross too. Sold that.

So had 7 in total and still have 3. And looking at that list it seems I had quite a buying phase in the mid-to-late naughties but have completely dried up since.

Just 3, am I on the wrong forum?

Only ever had 1 at a time though 🙁

Haven’t checked the whole thread, but I might be close to winning this, with only one bike and two tandems (which count as half?) in the last 20 years.

Maybe add another half for the unicycle too (and that’s the only one in the last 10 years). That makes 2.5 in total.

The 21y tandem (not counted above) still gets ridden more than all the others put together though.
