As cyclists, we have reasons - or are they excuses? - to have n+1 bikes.

Are there other n+1 things we get, like cars or watches or whatever? Maybe you need a 4x4 car and a sports car and commuter car and a winter car and so on. Or a dress watch and a work watch and a sports watch.

Or does n+1 only apply for bikes, because, on a bike forum, that's what we enjoy?

Yes, look at number of households that have two or more cars.

Table tennis bats.

If you play and study the catalogues, you would be amazed how many different blades and rubbers you can get and there is always room for one more in a sports bag.

I suffered from bad gas for a number of years: Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, which is very much the equivalent

One CF Martin acoustic was the gateway to a world of exotic tonewoods and bodyshapes, and I started to fill in 'gaps' in my collection that probably weren't there. Do you really need an 0-sized guitar when you've already got a parlour guitar? Do you really need a gravel bike when you've got a CX bike? In the end I simplified and settled on a small, carefully-chosen collection of acoustics and try to buy only strings from my local music shop ^_^

A quick google reveals that camera buffs have a similar problem... but then, if it's not hurting anyone physically, emotionally or financially is it a problem?
 
Not really n+1 but if I buy a cd or box set cd and it comes wrapped pristine I tend never to open them

Bizarre I know but it comes from ny upbringing lol!

I am beginning to wonder what to do with them as I will die one day

If you have an original Jumanji film send it across the county border and we will take good care of it for you
