I ride three

The newest and currently most ridden is http://www.dirtwork-
s.com.au/site/images/zoom/BRCCHB/Wild_Surly.jpg

An Avanti HT which I ride to work on the odd occasion and
lone out to friends. It was also supposed to be sold to
finance the surly.

A Specialized Epic

Plus a unicycle I can't ride, a circa 1992 Malvern Star Mt
Bike in the garage and numerous other bikes under my
parents house.

One old school geared HT. One new-ish FS DH bike that got to
see its first action of the season last weekend!

I have a few.

An old JC Higgins (the company that later became JC Penny)
girls cruiser from the 1950's maybe (?) it's old and
currently is in need of some TLC

A newer (1990's) no-name Schwinn-knockoff beach cruiser I
built into my current townie. It has full fenders, a coaster
brake, the baby trailer hitch, and serves me very well for
getting around town in all conditions. This one see the most
frequent use of the bunch.

A 2003 Specialized S-Works FSR (Epic)

A Surly 1x1 I bought last summer that is probably ridden the
most of my non-townie bikes.

An early 90's Trek 2100 road bike for when the trails aren't
ready yet http://mattb.net/images/misc/Trek2100_web.jpg

..and one that isn't mine, but is so cool I have to show it
(again). This is an old Radio Flier and my 13-Month-old just
loves it. It was a hand-me-down from some friends. http://mattb.net/images/2004-

Man, you've train him to put that tongue away when he gets
to the rough stuff. My 18-yr old sticks out his tongue when
he's concentrating, and it ain't pretty when he does it on
singletrack....

We'll get the basics covered and work on that later.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on the SS he's riding
there. No gears, or even a chain or cranks. It doesn't get
much simpler than that!

Let's see... I have one Sycip (used to have two), a Kona
(full suspension), a Trek (a Y bike), a Croll Cyclocross,
and a Pinarello road bike. Recent deductions from my garage
were a big, heavy DS bike and a track bike.
