For winter riding, including errands, a Del Rio Lowboy crank forward, with fenders and studded tires.
For epic touring, I use my Rans V-Rex short wheelbase recumbent with underseat panniers.
For light touring (sagged or credit card), I use my '73 Raleigh International, with rear rack.
For non-technical offroad touring, I use my Rans Sequoia crank forward.
For a tour having segments in the middle using train or bus, I use my folding Raleigh Twenty with racktop and small front panniers. I also use this bike for running errands in non-winter.
For club rides, a road bike, '80 Raleigh Professional.
For technical offroad, a 1990 GT Timberline MTB.
For recreational rides on open roads, my Optima Baron low racer.
For social rides and tours, the Vision R82 recumbent tandem.
For recreational rides, whichever of the above I feel like riding.
