The correct number of bikes or bike thingies is always n+1
- LeifCarrotson 4y agoWhere "n" is the amount that you currently own, I assume? I thought it was n - 1, where "n" is the number at which your spouse would no longer be able to tolerate your obsession.
- wyre 4y agoBoth are correct so it’s important to maximize for n
- skeeter2020 4y agomarriages have been ended when those don't produce the same value for n

Those numbers finally reached the same value at 20. Hopefully I won't have to go through that much to figure out the right number of bikes with my partner. After I get my frame fixed I'm still probably getting another, and that's how it starts. http://www.cube20.org http://www.cube20.org
- loeg 4y agoBikes, yeah, but the computers are portable between bikes. You only need one per rider. I have three bikes, but one computer.
