I know there are a lot of bicycle enthusiasts out there that ride for fitness and pleasure. What do you ride?

I ride a Trek 7100 and my spouse rides a Specialized Globe Carmel.

I've got an old Schwinn Traveler I converted to a fixed gear. I'll have to see if I can dig up a pic or two...

I've got a Crestone Peak bike, and I'm looking forward to getting a GF Marlin at the later part of this year.

Excited about my new bike!

New hotness:

Fahrrad Manufaktur T-100, which replaces my old busted second-hand Cannondale with cheapo parts that were constantly breaking. After the front derailleurs broke a week or so again, I've gone with a hub gear on this bike, which will hopefully mean less maintenance.

This is a commuting bike and in winter the snow and salt really like to mess up derailleurs.

I was considering converting the Cannondale to single speed for a while, but after trying it out by leaving the chain in 21 gear for a while, I decided it's not for me.

I have a 1993 Schwinn 21-speed mountain bike, sitting in my shed and in desperate need of a tune-up. It has Shimano components with a click-up/click-down gear changer, but that seems to be in disrepair.

I have a Trek 820 Antelope from the Mid-90's that I got last summer.

I have fixed the rear de-railer and it is in dire need of a new back rim.

I love that little guy.

I have a cheapo mountain bike that I ride to the railway station, so about 4 miles a day

Its a cheap one because, as a daily commute bike, they get broken or stolen every 18 months or so
