Another vote for 'bents. When I first tried my friend's VRex, it took a couple tries to get the hang of it, but once things "clicked", it was like "WOW! This is what I've been aspiring to all my life!" And I'd been riding df's seriously (as in USCF racing, randonneuring, commuting, mtb'ing, you name it) for 35 years. DF's are fun in their own way, but they don't come close to the comfort, speed and flat out fun of a 'bent. I'll probably always have a df or two around just for kicks, but when it comes down to anything serious, I'll be on my 'bent.
