I'm bored and need something to post.
With skiing, I have different skis for different conditions. Ice/daily driver, powder, and touring for example. I've got only one bike, a hardtail 27.5+. I have no need/desire for another one. A few reasons for that. I'm a much better skier than mountain biker, so I have a feel for differences in skis while I don't really in bikes. Decent bikes are also at least 4x the price of a decent pair of skis. Gets crazy expensive.
So what are the reasons some of you have multiple bikes? Full suspension for the teeth chattering trails, or maybe to save your back? Hardtail for better climbing or more mellow trails? Does a certain bike work better in certain conditions? I understand having a MTB and road bike, but I'm only interested in MTB for this discussion.
