Having spent years with just one bike, and now owning three and building another, I can say I'm much happier with multiple bikes. I couldn't live without my Surly LHT, complete with mustache, racks, baskets, kid seat, etc for tackling long days around town with the family (me carrying most of the "stuff"). And now I couldn't live without my more nimble, far lighter, and much faster 650b rando-bike for pure pleasure riding. I think two is my absolute minimum. Any more just adds to the fun!
