I have 0... Just a road bike.

Seems like training only on a different bike from race is a bad idea. A lot of people do some road bike some tri bike..

I have a roadie and a Tri bike.

I think next time I upgrade my Tri bike I will leave my current bike on the computrainer and only race on the new bike. My tri bike takes a beating from my sweat on the CT. It would be nice not to have to worry about cleaning it up as much as I do now! I could also leave race wheels and everything on the racer.

I have too many tribikes. LOL

-Kuota Kueen-K (best bike according to me)

-Felt DA1 (my 2013 bike)

-Cervelo P5-3 (my neswest bike... hope it's gonna beat my Kueen-K)

And 3 road bikes:

-Felt FC (my 2013 roady)

-Specialized S-Works Tarmac (2012 roady)

-Old Marinoni Colombus SLX (my winter bike... and the only one that I will never sell... my only durable friend since 1993)

But I only have one butt to sit on so I will have to sell some bikes (kuota, Felt and Spec).

2008 Felt S32 for weekday workouts. I leave it my office parking garage 24x7. I ride after work and return it to the garage afterward.

2010 Felt DA for weekend long rides and races. This one stays locked up in my basement :)

I love by P5-six for racing. And I enjoy putting the miles on it in training. However, I'd never consider buying a second Tri bike. In all honesty, tri bikes take away some of the joys of cycling for me. The 1000M climbs that begin 5 minutes from my door step, the view whilst comfortably perched on my hoods, and the social aspect of riding with the guys.

When I bought the P5, I thought it would be my favourite bike. And when I stop at a cafe popular with cyclists, it draws a crowd and my ego is stroked a little. But most days, I have to motivate myself to put in the miles and work needed to build a strong aero position and crank out the power like a machine, leaving my road bike to dream of the hills it is not riding.

Leading up to big races, however, I do often leave my P5 at home...no back-up if I do something stupid or unfortunate leading up to a race. And then I realize...tri-style training on the flats, even with a nice road bike (Scott Foil Team Issue), is not nearly as fun as my P5.

N+1 still holds true I suppose! :)

Two tri-bikes and one road bike - newest to oldest is BMC TM01, Giant Advanced Trinity SL-1, and Trek Madone 6.9. The BMC replaced a QR CD0.1. I train and race on all my bikes.
