You should have been here for the "What is a Hybrid ?" discussion in the hybrid forum some time ago... it was unbelievable.
We had some fun, eh? Your insistence that your bike was a hybrid and not a touring bike was what drove me to the conclusion that all chain driven bicycles are hybrids because only the broadest definition would include your Trek. Congrats on ridding yourself of that bike. Your fixed gear folder is clearly a hybrid, so you're qualified to post here. Haha.
Big congratulations on your recent marriage, K.
I'm very happy for you (and a little jealous
).
