This describes my dad except for the part where some of the bikes work.

Missed the swing bike and the skatebike.
I don't know where Dad dug these things up, but he started supplying us with strange and wondrous ways to hurt ourselves on 2 wheels, starting with a home made small penny farthing in 1962, an early banana seater, and a circus trick bike (20" wheels, vertical fork tube, and 1:1 fixed gear).
And cyclocross. I love my freaky off-road racing bike. Fast commuter able to deal with garbage road surfaces around town, and bonkers around the park.
I thought it was just "1 current bike + n old bikes ".
This looks like the meth-head's shed full of stolen bicycles you find in every bad neighbourhood.
My Pub Bike was my son's toy scooter. I lived in a very hilly place, so I could just cruise down on the brake, then walk up. Then at the pub I could just fold it up and throw it in a hedge somewhere and then fetch it afterwards.
There were a few scraped hands from falling off while pissed, particularly on tramlines. Also one time I ruined a pair of shoes - it felt weird when I was out dancing, then by the time I got home it had worn all the way through the heel I had used to press the brake down the hill. But overall it was a massive win.
Correct number is n-1, where n is the number that would cause a divorce.
What color is the bike shed though?
I dont see the "stoney tricycle for going to the beach" on here..
I have 4, could maybe justify a 5th but honestly that would take up too much space in my basement.
My single speed commuter and my touring bike are enough for me. That doesnt mean I dont want more though..
This is ridiculous. You don't need more than 4.
Everyone should have N + 1 bikes, where N is the amount of bikes they currently have.
8 tops
4+N
I’d say 1+n bikes is enough.
