We asked over 2,000 riders how many bikes they own, and the results were pretty interesting. In this video, Neil quickly breaks down Lucas’ article about the problem with n+1, shares his ideal bike stable, checks in with the Bikepacking.com team about theirs, and goes through the results from our community survey, which might surprise you.
