How many bikes do you have and what are they for?

How much does Giant pay you to make posts like these? 😉

As for myself:

BMW Q4.S Coca Cola Edition (won this in a give-away in Japan) former
commuter, now my backup bike.
Giant Reign3 (2005) commuter outfitted with rack, panniers, fenders,
bar-end grips and Topeak Moonshine HID (expensive but certainly helps
slow down oncoming traffic on narrow Japanese streets)

Two Albert Eisentraut steel, road cycles.

Careful, Squidster. JB (at Stanford Alumini Dot Org fame) will flame you
for making an "off-topic" post in RBT! (As soon as he's done posting links
to 9-11 conspiracy sites, that is! LOL )

Pinarello Galileo w. Dura Ace for the "modern feel"
De Rosa Primato w. Chorus for the "older feel"
Pinarello Treviso w. 105 7-speed downtube for the "traditional feel"
Jamis Nova cyclocross/tourer for commuting
GT Zaskar for off-road
Van Keulen (Belgian) singlespeed for you know what...

let's see....I have:
A commuter bike used for commuting, fenders, racks and panniers, good for
touring too
A road bike used for organized rides and stuff, kept as light as I
can get it, no frills
A lunch bike used to ride at lunch time at work, in case I want to
go out and eat, single speed old time style bike, don't need to change
clothes to ride 🙂
A shopping bike used to go shopping and buying stuff with, has cool metal
Wald baskets
A snow bike used for riding when we get snow and ice and such fun
stuff, single speed with studded tires, it didn't snow or sleet last year
though 🙁
An airport bike used to go to and from the airport when I have to fly
out for business, a singlespeed ugly bike that has a rack extension for a
garment bag
An old bike currently a spare, haven't done anything to it yet, it
is still stock, maybe a replacement airport bike
A dream bike I have the aerowheels, pedals, handlebar, but no frame
or components yet. This would become my new Road bike of course.
The other road bike becomes my beater bike at
that time.
I also want to build up a neat fixed speed bike too, but I still need to get
a rear hub and a frame though. So that will be my Fixie bike when I build
it.
I am thinking about machining up an aluminum aerobar-bullhorn trackbike
handlebar like I saw at YellowJersey.org a while back. It has that unique
cool factor to it.

FWIW:

2001 Litespeed Tuscany mostly Record with some Chorus: sees most
training and racing
2000 Cannondale CAAD 3 (warranty frame) Shimano mix: back-up/rain bike
2001 Lemond Poprad upgraded wheels/components: cyclocross
2006 Cervelo P2SL: TT
1993 Cannondale M700: MTB; used more as beach cruiser

Missing and to be added soon: a nice fixie. maybe a Bianchi Pista for
next off-season

On the futures list:
1) a 'disposable' carbon race bike (cervelo R3 or Soloist carbon maybe
)
2) a lugged steel work of art (Sachs)

5. Wel, 4 and one trike, to be pedantic.

HP Velotechnik Speedmachine: commuting
ICE Trice XXL: Audax
Optima Baron X-Low: racing
Revell Romany: technical standby commuter
Trek 4300: towpaths, trailer hauling, #2 technical standby commuter

the odd TT
http://www.fixedgeargallery.com/2005/nov/Jon.Howitt.htm
Giant OCR2 - for group rides
Dawes 80's steel cyclocross bike

rattle my fillings loose if tried on the road as it is rigid.

cheers

1990 custom HH Professional - such a nice bike that it quenched my old
desire to always have "something new".

1991 Novara X-R - my all around, wet weather, roof rackable,
touring/do-it-all bike.

Ca. 1976 Motobecane Grand Jubile - I built this up last year, thinking
it would only see pretty light use, but it's such a sweet ride that I
use it quite a lot. Those French guys were really on to something "back
in the day'.

chinese titanium custom made frame with campy veloce components. 75.5
seatube angle.

khs reynolds 853 frame with a bunch of old components that I got from
different sources, aerobars and a forward seatpost. The perfect TT,
triathlon bike. I tried to sell the frame for $100 in a local shop, but
nobody would buy it. I took it back and started putting different
components on it until I had a TT bike. The best tri bike in the world.

Bridgstone MB3 mountain bike. Great bike. I used to take my grandson
mountainbiking on this bike. He moved to boston and I am really sad.

I just have two. I can't really store anymore at home.

Raleigh C200 hybrid - Commuter and general purpose bike

Sun EZ-1 SC - My longer ride bike. Much more comfortable and faster that
the hybrid.

Perhaps in the future

A bicycle does get you there and more.... And there is always the thin
edge of danger to keep you alert and comfortably apprehensive. Dogs
become dogs again and snap at your raincoat; potholes become personal.

Mine (all road):

Fuji Professional (the carbon one) - Record/Chorus - my climber with
Record CT crank

Schwinn Paramount Ti - Chorus - the Double Century bike, soooooo comfy!

Sano Columbus Foco steel - Chorus/Centaur - on the trainer

Schwinn SuperSport 853 - Chorus/Centaur/FSA Energy CT Crank - the light
tourer with panniers

Gotta dump one. Too many bikes, not enough room in my personal
time/space continuum for all of them. Anyone want to buy the Sano?

Old 70's Peugeot fixie whose frame is too big and about to die - rainy

'87 Bianchi Premio fixie totally redone and powder coated into my "fast"
bike. Turns out I ride it everyday.

Last year's K2 Mach 1.0. For doing my GRS stuff with my uncle and his
plastic Trek. Although if we're sticking to the Silver Comet Trail (<1%
grade everywhere), I take the Bianchi and drop his ass.

Its nice to be a bike geek in the company of bike geeks.

I've got

1) An old school Trek road bike set up as a single-speed (or a
nine-speed depending on how I feel) COMMUTING

has down tube shifter bosses and a U-brake) set up as a single-speed.
LIGHT OFF-ROAD
3) A very cool 70s era department store cruiser (with a 24" rear whele
and a 20" front) BEING SILLY
4) An 8spd Raleigh Sport Comfort bike RIDING WITH THE WIFEY
