What sorts of bikes are we all riding? I've got an old Trek that I use for both recreation and commuting, and it has served me quite well.

Someone stole my bike years ago. At some point I'm thinking of getting another one.

Ouch. I hope you end up having fun with a new one. :3

An old Fuji mtb. Rescued from a rubbish heap. Forks are rusted. Chainrings I straightened with a hammer. Looks ratty as, but rides.

Also I don't worry about anyone stealing it. Every bike looks better.

Sometimes those are the best bikes for everyday around town trips... for exactly that reason. Throw a U-lock on, and you'll have good odds. 😁

Soma Saga frame with Brooks saddle, albatross handlebars and Sun Tour derailleurs with bar end friction shifting and cantilever brakes. Built it to spec myself. Most comfortable ride I've had for touring. Wouldn't trade it for gold.

Sounds like a nice bike!

My saddle is the one that came with an old mountain bike of mine. It'll need replacing soon, and I'm leaning towards a Brooks Cambium. People say they're comfy.

20 year old giant hard tail mountain bike. Love it when I can get it out on the trails

Old and new trek for me. Emonda SL5 for road rides and a multitrack 7500 for family rides.
