When I use to ride only recreationally on the weekends, one bike was more than sufficient. However, now that I commute by bike, at least 4 times per week, I find that things do wear out or break and I need a second bike! I now have two bikes that I take turns riding on my commute during the week and on my recreational ride on the weekend. I actually have a third mtb junker that was given to me - e.g., a "ifsomeonestoleitthey'redoingmeafavor" type of bike that I use when riding with my kids. Good Luck!
