  1. I'll admit I do. I have two that I use regularly: The first is for 'important' transportation which means work or shopping. I take care of that bike like it's my baby Frankenstein monster. I also have replacement 'just in case' parts for when something happens somewhere along the trips.

    I also have a beach cruiser which I use for fun transportation. Riding with kids or the park or the beach as the name of the bike so aggressively suggests. There's a few issues with this bike. I clearly don't care for it as well & it doesn't have the bells & whistles.

    Anyone else have different bikes for different rides?

  2. Of course!
    Singlespeed 24" for dirt jumps and skatepark,
    26" 1x10 for booting around town and commuting.
    26" fully geared mountain bike with a trailer for errands.
    Had a road bike but I sold it for motorcycle insurance money.
    Planning on finding an old but high end steel road bike and re-doing the whole thing.

  3. I just have the one for every use. It's a mountain bike with front & rear suspension, disc brakes & it also has some nice tread tyres that are not too slim and also not too chunky.

    I can go pretty much anywhere and in any weather conditions with it and I love it. I don't use it as much as I'd like to but I still like to think of my bike as a bit of a workhorse.

    Well, I think we all secretly knew YOU had more than one bike, BikeBikeBikeBike. 🙄

  5. I don't, I only have one, but then I wouldn't identify myself as a recreational cyclist. I ride almost exclusively for transportation, and only in town. I have considered getting a different type of bike at some point in the future, one that might be a little easier going uphill, but then I think my spine is happiest with an upright bike, so I'll probably stick with that.

  6. I mainly use one bike but I do keep a spare mountain bike in the case my main bike breaks down or has a mishap. Its always a good idea to keep more than one just in case of an emergency!

  7. I have one main bike for commuting/take when trailer camping, and another main bike for my longer weekend rides, and another main bike for touring, and yet another for off road riding, plus a few others I ride ever so often.
