more than one bike

[terry_gardener]

I have noticed that there is plenty of people with more than one bike I was just wondering why.

is it summer or winter bikes?
is it road and MTB?

or is it some other reason.

Why?
Why not?

Steel commuter
Carbon leisure
Titanium leisure

 

[fossala]

One road/commuting/touring, one MTB.

 

[Kies]

Flat bar for commuting and off road. Winter road bike. Summer road bike

 

[potsy]

All weather road bike- commuting and winter forum/leisure rides.
Dry weather best bike- weekend use in the dry.
CX bike- Commuter that can go on or off road.
Hybrid knockabout bike - 1st bike converted to a spare/shop/winter studded tyred bike.

Simple

 

[Supersuperleeds]

I have three bikes.

Hybrid - winter commuter bike
Hybrid - non winter commuter bike
Road bike - leisure rides

I'd have a fourth if the missus would let me, which would be a road bike for summer commuting, which would mean the current non winter commute bike would become the wet weather commuting bike.

 

[Brandane]

Mountain bike for rough off road stuff.
Cyclocross bike (Tricross) for touring! (Like it too much to subject it to a muddy field, so over the years it has morphed into a tourer). Also for road use in less than good weather, and light off road use.
Road bike for use on road in good (dry) weather.

I still NEED a flat bar hybrid for pottering around. Oh, and a proper steel framed tourer.

Road bike for on-road leisure
MTB for off-road leisure on knobbly tyres
I've another set of wheels for the MTB with slick tyres on, which makes it great for blatting about town on,
...or I can slap a rack on the back and it becomes a comfy tourer

Different colours

 

[Salad Dodger]

MTB for general messing around on.

E-Bike for shopping and riding around with Mrs Salad, who also has an e-bike. And maybe soon for commuting, if I can find a local job.......

Dawes Galaxy for everything.
Bob Jackson Tandem sadly doing zilch

 

[pally83]

Aluminium road bike for wet weather commuting / nasty weather.

Carbon road bike for fair weather commuting / long rides / sportives / audaxes / time trials.

MTB that was used for family pottering until it got nicked & recovered sans saddle, child seat, lights, bottle cages...

 

[paul04]

I have 2 bikes
MTB for my commute to work
Road bike - leisure rides

 

[T.M.H.N.E.T]

Don't really need a reason to own multiple bikes.

 

[byegad]

General use trike with fairing up front, Wet weather/into town trike with the same fairing and Climbing trike as light as possible and so not using the fairing.
