Heck, I came in HERE to ask about clothing (which I'll do very, very soon)

I ride a hybrid that I basically built from a rigid mountain bike. I call it a hybrid because it was a cheap mountain bike that couldn't possibly stand up to serious off-road use, so I put some decent wheels and high-pressure slicks on it for commuting. Then my commuting still comes in the form of using transit buses for a lot of the miles.

Then my actual Mountain bike is really just my "crappy weather" commuter because it does really well on snow and ice. I occasionally take it out into fields, dirt, and whatnot. It would handle a lot more abuse than I can throw at it, though. I'd bet 95% of the miles I've put on it are just commuting. I had the slicks on it for a while, right after I bought it. Now it's just my backup bike.

So yah. I have a hybrid that's not really a hybrid, and a mountain bike that's never seen a mountain.
