I live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Have been car free for 9 of the last 10 years, had this really strange desire for a car one year though. 
My city has a relatively small land mass that makes it pretty easy to get around, but I think that is one of the few positives to cycling here. On the negative side, the weather can be brutally cold in winter, -40 celsius.
I have a few bikes right now:
Jamis Durango sx
Norco CRD2
Supercycle (Raleigh) 20
None of my bikes are ideal for commuting on, but I deal with it. There are only so many bikes that my girlfriend will allow me to have in our small apartment, although I will be adding one more in the next month.
Well that is enough about me. And thanks for this forum!
I've been enjoying your posts and I appreciate your "purist" approach -- even if I don't always agree or live up to it. Like your avatar suggests, you're kind of a Maoist among carfree folk.
Do you ride all winter in Saskatoon? If so, I'm looking forward to your tips on winter riding next fall. Meanwhile, it's spring -- on the calendar at least -- so we can forget about the travails of cold weather riding for a few months!

Absurd!
