If something happens to one bike to make it unrideable, you can then ride the other one.


It allows you to be more adventurous with your own maintenance, because if you stuff something up and need a LBS to sort it out, you still have the other bike to ride.


You will have effectively have a spare set of wheels you could swap between bikes.


You could make your FX3 a dedicated grocery getter, with racks and baskets.


You could make your FX3 a dedicated commuter and add fenders etc.
