I ride my road bike the most these days--it's silver. My mtn.bike is blue, so I chose other.

The actual colour scheme is called 'Dark Knight', which is gloss black decals on a matte black frame. It's not what I would have chosen but it was a clearance offer and now I've got it I rather like it. Given a free hand I would probably have gone for red, but PlanetX don't offer that bike in many colours. I've also got another black one, a blue and silver one (my favourite colour scheme), a blue mountain bike and a white Brompton, but the Dark Knight is my regular commute.

I too have several bikes. But taking count shows more orange than any other color... even after recently selling one! I'm not sure how orange didn't make the poll, especially considering it truly is the best color.

I have 2 bikes, and they are both the same color. I wasn't looking for that color at all, but rather that specific bike. That color would actually have been at the bottom of my choice list. By some weird coincidence they both ended up the same though. Burgundy/wine/sangria type color.

I have three bikes so I voted red based on the bike that I spend the most time on.

I chose purple for my almost done custom bike. I should get it in around a week. So close now!

No pink, purple or fully exposed chrome - but I think most of the rest of the colors + white + black. Even one with red white and blue.

Blue, Blue, Black, Gold, Gray, Red, Black, Blue, White... I can't pick just one because that would be unfair to the others. BUT, having said that, I've had my Blue Fuji S-10S for over 42 years.

Well, let's see. My current stable is black, white, blue, white, black, and wait for it... white. I have no idea how the blue one snuck in there.

I don't play favourites. My favourite bike is the one most suitable for today's ride. If I had to pick a winner it would have been my 1973 Raleigh Professional with its blue mink/silver paint scheme. It was beautiful. I crashed it in a race in 1999 and bent the frame too badly to be worth fixing. I still have the frame, can't bring myself to throw it out. The components are still in great shape mostly in my spare parts bin waiting for a new home.
