Rule #12: "The correct number of bikes to own is n+1."
In order of acquisition:
1. Kermit (1997 Waterford 2200, Reynolds steel, used, 2000 Trexlertown Swap Meet, originally painted British Racing Green, re-painted Colorphoria at Waterford in 2008):
This the first bike I'd rescue in a fire.
2. Gonzo (LeMond Zurich, Reynolds steel, date unknown, used, eBay 2003, originally painted white with red trim, powder-coated City Lights by Powtech in 2015):
This bike is a tank. It refuses to die.
3. Grover (2007 Cannondale F300, aluminum):
Before I messed up my back, I tried to hop logs. Now I'm not allowed. Towpath.
4. Miss Piggy II (2015 Cannondale Synapse, carbon, warranty replacement for 2011 Synapse, in a color scheme that is far too sedate for my personality):
For hills because I can't climb for shit.
5. Beaker (2014 Tommasini Techno, Columbus steel, painted without logos by request):
Perfection.

The rule also allows for s-1, where s=the number of bikes that will precipitate a separation between you and the spouse. At this point, at this house, two bikes for me (and two for her) approaches s; there is not a whole number that can be added to this sum and still satisfy the condition s-1.
There does appear to be a fractional number that can be added. I test this hypothesis continually by acquiring parts, accessories, and bike tools.
Great collection of bikes and Muppets over the years.
