Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - What "type" of bike do you ride?

Pretty much the title says it, and I'm curious. Do you ride a road bike, mountain bike, recumbent, cyclecross, "comfort" bike, or what?

Me? Well due to the fact that I ride mostly dirt with some odd bits of asphalt here and there, I ride a mountain bike.

However, I'm in the process of building a roadie to satisfy my speed/long distance urge.

I ride a hybrid road bike. Great for short and long distances. I am going X-Country with it in a few months.

Worksman Industrial Cruiser

CX bike (Cross-Check Complete) outfitted for commuting and long distance riding (rear rack, front bag support rack, fenders and flaps, 28mm street tires.)

I ride a MTB in winter, a hybrid for all other seasons and I'm looking for an older road bike to fix up and ride longer rides.

I go both ways... dirt and road. I ride a 2002 Lemond Zurich on the road and have two mountain bikes, a 2007 Santa Cruz Superlight and a 2005 Specialized M4 Stumpjumper hardtail, During the summer I also commute to work on a beater bike, an old Cannondale road bike.

I'm probably a stronger roadie but love mountain biking. Something about being out in nature, no cars, just beautiful scenary...

Hard-tail mountain bike (Specialized Stumpjumper), although I'll be test riding some road bikes next week.

I gallop along in a mid-1990s GT Mountain bike with Velocity Deep V rims...finally swapped the suspension fork for a rigid one....I hope to have my first road (steel) bike by June.

I ride an 86 RockHopper with street tires and a gear set made up for flat land riding.

2007 Giant Cypress W. Not sure if it's "comfort" or "hybrid," but it has narrower tires than most "comfort" bikes.

Trek 7100 Hybrid. Sorry no pictures yet. I will have to post some after I add my bar ends.

I ride a folding MTB (Montague Paratrooper) but I'm looking for a good deal on a road bike that I can fix up cheap to see if I would like that more.

OCR C3 Carbon/105. Rides nice, now it needs a "nicer" rider. :o

I am blessed to have several bikes to choose from and I really like my Specialized Tri Cross best. A close second is my Specialized Roubaix!

I ride two "folders.

1) 2005 Dahon Boardwalk S1 - Single Speed (My going-to-the-store bike.)

2) 2007 Bike Friday New World Tourist w/Dual Drive (27 Speed)

I have a Steel/CF Lemond that is similar to Mr. Beanz's Lemond, although a step down in componentry.

Is that a radar detector on the hb's? You MUST be FAST!:D

My trustee old steely. Twice ridden in the French Central Massif, once in the Pyrenees and countless times up a nice long and steep hill where I used to live in Germany. That was the best training hill, ever.
Shimano 105 all around and Chrom-Moly frame, new Mavic Open Pro rim with Wheelsmith spokes, build by myself.

My new steed, bought last year after the rear rim of my old steely broke and only a few days before a century. So instead of buying a new wheel I bought a new bike :D

I have 2 rides:

--a Trek 7100 hybrid (many mods) - for commuting/around town
--my new Orbea Onix (also modified somewhat) - for just plain fun :p

Road Bikes for me. For me there is no feeling like the speed of a road bike.

Nope, a video camera. ;)

REALLY? Cool! I thought it was some sort of light. I could use one of those. Wouldn't be on the bike though!:p

Moutain bike 98 DiamondBack Outlook DX. It's been fitted with a rear rack and fenders for commuting and hopefully some touring this summer.

I have a road bike and a comfort bike.

Me? Well due to the fact that I ride mostly dirt with some odd bits of asphalt here and there, I ride a mountain bike.

However, I'm in the process of building a roadie to satisfy my speed/long distance urge.

I started with an MTB, a Norco Bushpilot, found that mountain riding wasn't for me, swapped the knobbies for some 36mm wide slicks, added fenders and rear rack, so it's more commuter like. I need to swap the crank for one that's a little more roadish, and swap the fork for a solid one, I don't mind using experienced components, as long as they are in good condition. I want to stick with a triple as I would like to tour..... I wonder about picking up an old road bike as another option.....

Got to love the Waterfords- on my short list for my next bike.

Specialized Crossroads comfort and an old Raleigh Sportif touring. Someday a true road bike.

Got to love the Waterfords- on my short list for my next bike.

I've got just a little over 46,000 miles on it, just can't think of another bike I would like to ride.

I just ordered a Lemond Poprad Disk cyclocross bike. It will be my daily commuter, light tourer, fast road riding, and trail riding bike. You can't beat cyclocross for versatility.

No pics (I'm a freakin photographer you'd think I'd have SOME but no).

My main ride these days is an IRO fixed/free that I usually fide free/single speed. 1" riser bars and two brakes, and SKS fenders (tight squeeze but they work).

Shop is currently working on my new bike (can't wait) a Rivendell Atlantis (what can I say? it fit).

I also have a 2000 Cannondale Jekyll 3000 with full XTR but it's too small and I don't live where I used to so it hasn't been ridden in ages, really aught to sell it...

Just realized I have a really odd mix of bikes.

Here is my 2008 Soma DoubleCross

One bike left. Iron Horse Urban my wife picked out for me (she's not a bike person, still wonders why Walmart hasn't got good bikes). Saving pennies and anticipating Bushy Bux to solve that.
