At the moment it would be a static or exercise bike,as i call it. I haven't been out riding since early November,so my exercise bike has been my only connection with cycling.

I do a fair amount of research in the field. Very sorry to hear that.

I like the padded wrapping ... it's something the Michelin man might ride. Now you're not going to tell me that this is not the intended finish??? Je suis desole.

Until a year or so ago, I would have said a folding bike, probably a Brompton, just for the sheer versatility, but now public hire bikes are more widespread, I'd say my upgraded Dutchie Dapper 3 (edit: or something very similar) would be the one bike, now that peak time train transport isn't a must-have. Comfortable, a very sturdy load-carrier, but can be cranked up to a fair lick if loaded lightly.

Indeed. It doesn't often matter whether you do an extra 1mph, but it more often matters whether you can get on the bike the next day.Comfy= a go faster, or less slow thing. Really

I have been thinking this over. I described more of a dream bike. My one bike would be:
Less than £300
Good fit for me
8(+) speed cassette with a decent spread of gears
Comfy saddle
After this I have a long list of ignorable "would-likes": steel, disc brakes, >=32c clearance.
My most beloved bike was a 2003 Norco Citadel: bit of a tank, comfy as can be. I cycled along just in love with the thing.
The way I see things at the moment is - a Triban 500 is more bike than 80%+ of people need. I probably fall into that group. I am not racing, and I don't want to be too worried about things being stolen or needing replaced.
If I have to have ONE bike - then the other thing is - if I do grind it into a paste... I get to pick another ONE bike!
