A rain bike is indispensible.
I wouldn't mind having a bike with panniers... or a SS mtn bike either.
Of course I still have a few geared bikes as well... and my wife has 3 bikes...
I have more bikes than these...only seven are fixed-gears. I also have three roadies,
two mountain bikes, and a hybrid.
