If living temporarily <2 years someplace, yes, probably, if I was involved with work and it was a boring location.
I'm established in a town I moved to about three years ago with a nice mix of terrain, road surfaces (and qualities) and my Saluki could definitely do all the things I want it to but a dedicated cross county mtb, a beater cross bike, a dedicated road bike (anti-unracer) are permanent residents. Oh, and there's a bike stashed at my parents ~3000 miles away for rides back in the hood. Even if I eliminated all bikes here, there'd still be the Indy Fab back home.
