Bikes: "Hildy", a Novara Randonee touring bike; a 16-speed Bike Friday Tikit; and a Specialized Stumpjumper frame-based built-up MTB, now serving as the kid-carrier, grocery-getter.

In some crowds, I think BMX bikes are the "in" bikes. It's like mountain bikes in the '80s, they were the thing to get and they made you look automatically cool. (I ride a MTB, but that's because I actually take it on the trails.)

But honestly, whatever floats your boat. Everyone has a litle bit of vanity in them. If you've ever spent a few minutes dithering about what to wear, you have a touch of the vain in you.

There's one of these on one of my regular riding routes; it's a regular water stop for me. It's always disappointing when nobody's doing stunts.
