I have what I would consider a thoroughly medium sized quiver of bikes at six, although I'm constantly doing the mental gymnastics to try to reduce the number through optimization. At the same time, a large part of me admires those who have just a bike or two and ride the heck out of them, so I kind of want to just split the collection in half and live more simply. Alas... I think it will be an unending battle.
