So does it add up when you have multiple bikes like multiple coffees? I mean I need an afternoon coffee to survive…

That’s not bike math, that’s the coffee math I used to justify owning a coffee machine and grinder worthy of a professional barista!

The bikes on the other hand have been justified entirely by the savings on commuting costs, gym membership fees and (more tenuously) rarely having to buy new clothes because I haven’t changed shape in 20 years…

Right number of bikes:

N + 1 where N <= S - 1

N = number of bikes you currently own
S = number of bikes that results in divorce
