What would you relate your bike/s to as far as motorized vehicles?

My bike is just a tool I use mainly for fitness, enjoyment and health. My motor vehicles are for transportation. I can't compare them in the way you ask.
I don't form any sentimental attachment to such things. If they become no use to me I'm happy for them to go to the scrapyard. That's about as emotional as I can get for them.

I think of my bikes as sleepers, plain jane frames with all the good stuff hidden.

I think of my All City Space Horse as a Cadillac SUV: it's big, heavy, smooth, and comfy. And with 35mm tires, full fenders, and a handlebar bag, it'll go almost anywhere I need to go and carry my stuff in style.

What with all the bikes that are all shaped alike being compared to anything from Jeeps to Lamborghinis, I'm not sure how mine compares to anything. The camera stopped the action pretty well, but the faster the subject goes the harder it is to center in the frame.
