Right now i could limit the number of bikes to 6 (beater, folding, road, gravel, touring, mtb), but i can't see myself getting rid of a couple other more, that are completely maintenance free (rim brake and cable actuated, with tubes and mostly steel).
I try to ride the more modern ones more, so the oil in the brakes and suspensions and the tubeless juice don't degrade. The aforementioned rim brake bikes can stay unused for longer, without occupying too much of rent space in my head.
A part of me still wants to keep the strict necessary, but i'm afraid this approach it's more of a self imposition rather than a real need.
