My Fuji Cross bike with 28mm Gatorskins. I love it! https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3942/...0793b06d_b.jpg And one from new bike day. |
The only reason I went with 50mm tires on my "Frankenbike" is that streets & sidewalks here resemble the craters of the moon. I have more than one friend who has endoed when their 25mm tires got buried in a crack of the road. I rode recently with friends who both run 37mm tires on their commuter bikes. I brought up the rear on my Townie with the 50mm tires. They ducked & dodged frequently, occasionally having to brake hard to avoid obstacles - I just rode over the potholes & kept on going. My Kona came with knobbies, but it rode too rough. The Continental "Retro Ride" tires seem smoother & more comfortable.

It's an awful picture, but here's my Mercier Nano minivelo. The 60t chainring lets me keep it on the boil pretty good, and it's a great bike for shooting around town, though it is a bit extreme in many ways. |
Now THAT's a rad bike, chaadster! I love it!

Here's my sport-ute, the bike that does the heavy lifting in the stable. I commute, run errands, haul the kids, and day-trip on. It's bristling with mounts for various trailers, and has all the accoutrements for utility work. It rolls, in the summer, on the pictured Velocity Blunt rims which are a massive 24mm bead seat width, and really give 28mm Vittoria Randonneurs, and in the winter, 30mm Kenda Kwick CX tires on WTB Dual-Duty rims. The unusal rack/pannier setup is by Xootr. https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2850/...b53b6b9c_b.jpg |

I live in a fairly new development that leads directly onto a freshly paved rail-to-trail MUP, I don't worry about it too much.

3 main road bikes.
Cannondale Synapse 3 http://www.jaxgtr.net/BFStuff/CannondaleSynapse3.jpg Cannondale SuperSix 5 http://www.jaxgtr.net/BFStuff/CannondaleSuperSix.jpg And my commuter: http://www.jaxgtr.net/BFStuff/TrekCrossRip2014.jpg |
Most of my saddle time, hard riding, and racing is done aboard this one, the Breezer Venturi:
https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7317/...5be2ebf3_b.jpg 19.4bsw rims transform the Schwalbe One 23s into 26mm wide, and they're tubeless, so dealing with Michigan's famously poor roads ain't bad at all; they're amazingly comfy. |
