--> The speaker has at least one other bike.

My bike, which has a broken seat, is in the garage. 
--> The speaker probably owns just one bike.

Slide 41 - Tekstslide

who vs. whom

  • Who is used as the subject of a clause (similar to "he" or "she").
E.g. The designer who created this dress is world-famous. (Who = subject)

  • Whom is used as the object of a verb or preposition (similar to "him" or "her").
E.g. The model whom the designer chose wore the final piece. (Whom = object of "chose")
         To whom did you send the invitation? (Whom = object of "to")

A quick trick: If you can replace it with "he/she," use who; if "him/her" fits better, use whom.
