How many bikes do you own?

Ah...for a family of 3, we have 13 bikes. Is that excessive?
The Douze cargo bike is the daily driver for the parent who's taking the kid to/from daycare; the other parent rides a Priority Continuum, which has a medium-sized frame and easily-adjustable seatpost, in case we need to switch bikes mid-day (I'm tall-ish, she's short-ish). The kid has her own Woom 1 balance bike, though she'd rather ride in the cargo bike. Then my wife and I each have our own city bike (vintage frame built up w/ modern components), our own touring bike (ditto), and our own vintage Raleigh 3-speed. There's a Dahon Piccolo folding bike (occasionally useful) and an old Columbia tandem (only used when my 12-year-old niece comes over). A 1951 Raleigh Clubman that doesn't get ridden much since the kid came along (more's the pity). And a 2007 Raleigh road bike that I don't ride much either (meh).

Then my wife has one here in NYC, one in Chicago for work, and one at her folks house. Shoot, I have one at her folks place too, so add another for me...
I don't feel bad about my bikes at all. I used to have about 16 bikes and this was a big downsize for me! None of my whips are newer than '91 and they're all sweet rides that fit really well. It's a collection, but it's a well curated collection.

How many bicycles do I own? Far too many for a bachelor apartment. I really do need to thin down the herd.

2 Hybrids - one with front suspension, one without.
Thinking about adding a single-speed to the line up.

The only one of my seven bikes that really permits me to go car-free is the M80, which has both a summer and winter outfit.
Four panniers gives me about a 100 lb. capacity

Way too much my girlfriend would said! But she already has 4!
On my side I currently have:
- 1960's French raod frame - Unidentified yet, pending identification, restoration en likely to be converted as a fixed gear / singlespeed
- 1993 Trek 520 Touring - True Temper double butted cromo -Recently bought, to be used as an all-rounder/commuter
- 1994 Ferraroli Elegante - Tange Prestige Superlight -road bike, restoration being finished
- 1995 Sunn 500 MTB (Tange cromo) - Commuter - neo-retro build 1x11s
- 1996 Decathlon Rockrider 700 - Dedaccia Zero cromo - Single speeder MTB
- 1997 (?) Bianchi MTB - Probably Dedaccia Zero Tre - pending clear identification
- 2021 Chiru Vagus - Titanium gravel bike - the bike I use most!
By the way, frenchie here. That explains the Decathlon and Sunn bikes

About a dozen or so built and another half dozen frames and forks. I use about 4 bikes regularly; a Lemond Fillmore single speed, Lemond Wayzata, Lemond Poprad, and a Tommaso.

I own two so far. My 2016 Raleigh Edale Hybrid - from Halfords, a UK big box store as you'd call it in the US. A generic frame, built to a budget with basic components but did me until 2022. It's still around for the memories! And a 2022 (probably 2021 to be honest) Giant Escape 4 from a local bike shop. About twice the cost. Nice aluminium (alloy?) frame, but basic components. I'd say the entry level into decent quality brands / bicycling and about where I'm at with my experience / interest in cycling for now. I can't post pics until I've been a member with more posts
