What type of bike do you ride?
I've had road racers, touring bikes, recumbents, and now, a MTB. What's the preferred Clyde-Ride?

I have a cracked Trek 520 (tourer) and two MTBs.
If anyone's in the market for a clyde MTB, I highly recommend the titus racer-x.
Its light and fast yet insanely strong. 5 years of abuse.
I don't think type matters as long as you don't stupidly sacrafice strength for weight.

I have an older Specialized Hard Rock GX mtb that I've been riding for somewhere around 10 years. All the folks at work ride roadies at lunch, so I picked up a road bike last week. It's a Specialized Roubaix Elite. I'll probably outfit the Hard Rock with a rack and penniers and use it when I need to haul stuff, but I'm having a real blast zipping around on the new roadie.
I've barley even started my car this month, and it feels great.

My favorite all-around bike is my '88 Trek 830 mtb, outfitted for pavement and long rides. It hauls me and my stuff like a truck. I have a Trek 520 that I thought I would ride more than I do. The 830 does everything the tour bike can do. Recently I bought a new Sequoia Elite - just for giggles-n-grins. Plenty of 'em. I also like my 3-speed alot. A bike for every mood, I guess.

Might other include multiple use riders. I have all types of bikes, except for a mountain and bmx bike. Usually i find myself on a road bike, I guess.

I've got an Electra 3-speed cruiser bike. The Rat Rod.
But I'm looking for an old road frame to convert to fixed. Maybe an mtb would work better for what I want but definately a fixie... I'll know the bike when I find it; it looks like so much fun! I wanna ride backwards...

Main bike: 2004 Giant OCR Touring; I am rebuilding the rear wheel with DT alpine III spokes, otherwise a great bike for a petite flower like me.
Fair weather/lightweight bike: 1981 Takara Grand Touring; I break a rear spoke if I ride this bike 2 days in a row, so I saving up for a new rear wheel.

You Know!? For Kids!
90%+ of my riding is on my roadie. Pull out the MTB to ride with my boys, pull the trailer, etc.
