Doesn't Grant have an article about 'how many bikes?' I think he settled out at recommending 7 for any reasonable cyclist:
1. Light road bike 2. Comfy road bike 3. Touring bike 4. Bomber touring bike 5. City/commute bike 6. Singlespeed 7. Work in progress For me, I pared way down to only two (a minimum for me over the past 25 years!). I've got #1: a lugged steel custom Davidson Signature, and #3: a Samuel Hillborne. I have a deposit on #4: a 56cm Bombadil (orange powdercoat). Later this year I plan on getting a Velo Orange Polyvalent for #5. Next year I want to get a Roadeo for #2. I live at the top of a steep hill, so I'll indefinitely forego #6. Who knows what might reveal itself as #7?
