I believe Jobst Brandt had only one bike and he went everywhere! I think you can satisfy want and need all in one shot. You want an Atlantis and at that point you only need one bike! Done! Optimization is the enemy of opportunity. I've had more fun using the "wrong" bike than using what would

Everybody stop talking. I know exactly what needs to be done here. 1. Keep the Hunq which is your TBBITW (The Best Bike in the World). 2. Buy one of these: http://www.tagabikes.com. You know, under the guise of a gift to the new baby, and all. You're welcome. My work here is done. Leah --

My response, learned late after many other responses, would be to sell any that you are dissatisfied with but keep any that you really like, even if you haven't used them much recently. IME, as soon as you sell something you like, you'll find that you really, really did want it and will go out

I'd keep the Hunqapillar. You will have so much fun pulling a trailer with it. Sam might be more versatile but it'll be easier to find and fund a Sam if you later regret selling yours. Or just store everything else at the homes of friends and relatives. :) Btw, what are the other two bikes?

Say you had a hunqapillar, a Sam and a couple vintage bikes. But mostly the hunq and Sam got ridden and you felt like you lived a really nice bike life. Then let's say you were trying to have a kid and you lived in a small house and bike room could no longer be bike room. Let's also say that a
