Oh I ride a 2016 Cannondale SuperSix hi mod with record group and I've recently become obsessed with my E-MTB, a Trek Powerfly 5. I bought it with an insurance payout after I wrote off my Colnago CLX on the way to work one morning. I was sceptical but intrigued so I did a few test rides and I was hooked! Now I'm like a born again ebike preacher, spreading the word. I live in the hills outside my city with beautiful roads and off road trails in abundance. What do you ride @DataBase
Haven't bought anything new lately but currently riding a Felt carbon roadie, and Yeti A.R.C. 26" hardtail on the singletrack. Would love a Bianchi Specialissima and a YETI 29er for the trails, but $$$$. Currently gearing up for my annual 300 mile road ride at the end of July to raise $ for Make-A-Wish.

Ooh nothing fancy over here! I bought a black Momentum Street bike a few years ago, which is an offshoot of Giant. My pops is Dutch, so it's a nod to my ancestry
I have a fantastic commute to work: 20 minutes along the river in my city. It's brilliant.

It's such a great way to start and end the work day! Gets the body and mind working in the morning and an almost meditative, unwinding bridge between work and home. I love my commute!Ooh nothing fancy over here! I bought a black Momentum Street bike a few years ago, which is an offshoot of Giant. My pops is Dutch, so it's a nod to my ancestry

I wish more people would do it! I was skeptical for the longest time, but wow does it ever make you feel like a kid again.
On my ride home, I take a downhill street that is horribly backed up with rush-hour traffic. There is something quite satisfying about blasting past everyone in their cars.

Custom track bike by stanridge speed. Full Columbus one off aero tubing. House brand fork with disc front brake. Integrated seat mast. Brooks cambium saddle. Custom paint. It was my divorce present to myself. Wanted a fixed gear SS that would be able to handle the urban hills of East Tennessee.

I've been really into cycling for several years now, doing around 3,500-4,000 miles per year the last couple years until I got hit by a car. This beautiful bike was mine until that day. An incredible 2017 Canyon Endurace with Ultegra di2. I loved that bicycle. It got smashed beyond repair 40 miles into a planned century when an old lady left hooked me and sent me flying. That was last summer and I'm still recovering, mentally and physically. I lost a lot of fitness and am only now really coming to realize how freaked out I am and have been to ride on the road again. I still ride to work and school most days and bought an indoor trainer recently. I hope to be most of the way back to where I once was by September, when I'm doing a Gran Fondo.
My current bike (a 2015 Giant Contend that I had before I saved up for what I considered my super bike).

My knees have been jacked up for years, so much so I haven't touched my bike, it hangs in my garage begging for a spin each summer. I can't bring myself to part with it though, nothing overly fancy, 2006 Giant Rincon............I do miss riding though

I had a bike in the past, not the greatest but it got stolen and then I bought a really cheap and the front wheel bent (again it was cheap) I have been meaning to get another, I do have a stationary bike. Maybe one day

Here is mine! 2018 Specialized Chisel. I love it, but I do wish I'd bought a road bike first, as that's where I ride more often. I put less aggressive tires on it since the pic above for that reason. I get out on trails when I can, but that requires a drive and I'd rather just ride. I commute sometimes. Need to more now that it's summer weather.

Here's a pic of my beloved ebike on one of my many lovely commuting routes. I work in the city in the background.

And that is why I don’t do much road riding any longer. I keep to the trail or in the case of my steed above, greenway and urban riding. Never been hit, but can’t deal with idiot drivers and add this new fad of texting while driving in the mix and it’s just not worth it to me. Best of luck with your recovery brother

Ah, now you're talking my language. Everyday commuter, occasional big ride/vintage ride type here.
Steeds are Geraldine, a 2016 Genesis Equilibrium Disc 20 - 725 steel w. carbon forks. I've tweaked it with updates 105 shifters and a Zipp stem/bar combo
and Marjorie - an '81 Dawes Imperial - 531c throughout, and it's been updated with a Brooks saddle, a Suntour Cyclone 2 GT rear mech (same as it was fitted with when new) and a set of Continental Eroica edition gumwalls (which I picked up at the Eroica Britannia event the other year)
since this shot
