If you could only have 3 bikes
Like many people I don't have an unlimited budget or unlimited room. I think 3 bikes offers a good range...

I was thinking, what bikes would be what cars and this is what I came up with.
Road bikes = sedans
Cross bikes = rally cars
Mountain bikes= off road vehicles
Touring bikes= semi trucks
Tri-bikes = F1 vehicles
Vintage bikes= old classics
Fat bikes= monster trucks
Folding bikes= smart car
Hybrids bikes= SUVs
Just good for thought.

S-Works, so I'm very happy with the
Diverge.
Now, the Cannondale is reserved completely for miserable studded-tire riding,and now I'm happy about that, and my riding needs are completely met.
I liken my three bikes to a Lamborghini, a Lexus, and a Humvee [see photos below]

So ... fast road bike, endurance bike with load-carrying capacity, and F/S MTB.
