What type of bike do you ride?

[Shaun]

I voted Road because that's the one I like riding the most, but I have a hybrid and MTB too.

I'd some day like to add to the stable by acquiring a recumbent too, but that'll probably be later rather than sooner.

Oh, and welcome!

Cheers,
Shaun

I haven't got a MTB because I prefer to go quick.

Not much locally a 'cross bike can't cope with.

Been riding a MTB with hybrid tyres for a few years, mainly to help stay fit. Found that I enjoy getting out & exploring the lanes & tracks around here, so decided to go for a proper road bike. Went for a Tricross to give me options to cover most bases. Looking to up my distances & work up to an Audax.

MTB still there for getting to/from work etc. - rigged out with guards & rack.

I'm a mountainbiker in my heart but rarely get my shoot together to actually ride my £3,000 Vertex. It's become a confection. I ride a made in India ladies Atlas three speed to work since I gave away my lecky bike in a moment of drunken stupidity. I would ride my Brompton but my best mate managed to 'lose' it when he was knocked off it and ended up in hospital in a permanent vegetative state. Twat.
What I really want is a tourer just like the one I bought in 1982 when I first got into it.

I would rather stick shitty needles in my eyes than ride a 'hybrid'.

Not sure where my bike sits - it can be a road bike, but I mainly use it for TT's - quad spoked wheels, chicane extensions....lovely piece of kit. But I can take those bits off and I have normal wheels too...

Where is this bicycle wild west in which you live? I want to join. As long as I can be sheriff.

My preference is a roadie, however I also ride a MTB for commuting and some light off road jaunts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yorkshireman]

Being new to the forum it would be interesting to see what people mostly ride. I'm getting the impression that the majority may be 'roadies', but I could be wrong?

I'm an MTBer myself, all terrain, I'm not fussy. Keen to do some touring in the future. I like to have something you can throw about though so it would take a hell of a lot to convert me to road bikes, even hybrid.

1 x full sus mtb
1 X geared hardtail
1 x rigid SS mtb
1 x fixed road bike
1 x steel road bike (geared)

wouldn't mind a nice carbon road bike as well, or maybe Ti. And I rckon I could fit a touring bike into the garage somewhere as well.

And all of the above get used.

me, mtb for fun, when weather's not totally shoot , and roadbike for commuting, but do also quite enjoy riding road bike.

Remind me where you live so I don't ever make the mistake of moving there?

 

[Mortiroloboy]

I ticked the road bike box, cos that's what I do mostly, but I have a basic Trek 6500 which I use when we all go out together along the canal (towpath)

 

[Odyssey]

I feel vastly outnumbered. I might just pretend I ride a road bike.

if you were really faced with that decision, you'd find out that that's an exaggeration

as for me, my bike doesn't comfortably fit into any of those categories

I too would rather stick shitty needles in mickle's eyes than ride a hybrid.
