As someone who a year ago went from not being able to ride a bike and thus not having one, to having one that does everything -- one bike is a wonderful blessing. My Hunqapillar with the large Dureems is a delight to ride on our paved roads and even more delightful to ride on the back roads and trails. I am still amazed that a single bike can do that, and I don't even need to change the tires (I don't ride technical trails). It will be some time before I even consider having a second bike as the needs of family come way ahead of that on the list, so the quandary of multiple bikes seems hard to imagine.
