How many bikes is overkill?

I have a feeling some of us on here have more bikes than we wish to admit. I'm up to 3 so far. Bianchi Road, Giant Mountain, and Trek Hybrid (which is currently abroad).

UPDATE (as of 6/8/11) - I'm up to 6 now... 2 aren't ride-able at the moment though.

I have 2 1/2 myself.... Two here and a half of one at a friends in WI.... One of these days I am going to decide between rebuilding it or scarping it.... Also, I have been contemplating adding a mountain bike or a recumbent to my stable one of these days.... And if I can find a road bike just like my main bike, I would like to have a spare....

You might have too many bikes if...

your apartment looks the open shop of West town bikes.

the only "chair" you have is your recumbent.

you start hanging old bikes on the wall and call it art.

you carry a bike on your bike to the bike shop.

you wonder which bike would look best with what your wearing today.

There is no rule that says you have to hang only whole bikes on the wall as art. Parts and pieces are perfectly fine too!
