Show us your hybrid

Is it just me or is black the dullest colour ever for bikes ?

I must admit, I wanted a bright colour (always been a fan of lairy colours) but this bike felt better than the others I tried.

I am into white at the moment, my motorbikes and push bikes are all white with black stripes!

Not a hybrid, a Dune Dancer mountain bike set up for ambling along road use!

Follow on from the bike colour - why is there a sudden fetish for All Blacks cycle kit - given the shortening days I'm looking for cycling kit that stands out from an autumn and green/grey background. Leaving aside dayglo yellow, what other colours work ? Red ? Blue ?

Do Whytes come in white? I'll get my coat...

I've noticed this too – I sort of get the fashionable 'understated' gloss black logos on matt black frame sort of thing, but having had a boring black Ridgeback up until a few weeks back, I'm delighted with my shiny black, white and red Trek Madone and more recently acquired white Boardman hybrid (see my earlier post at the top of page 4). Given the Boardman will fulfill foul-weather commuting and family cycling duties, that fact that it's bright and stands out is probably a good thing. Not that it matters, but I think it also looks quite smart too

Mine, used for the daily commute and fun at the weekends.
Roads, towpaths a bit of muddy stuff and some jumping which it stands up to pretty well.

Having just looked fully through this thread for the first time I see what is meant by all these black, grey, dull, indescript bike on here! Least my earlier offering bucks the trend.....although I do also have a black Boardman Comp!!

I went to the shop to get some panniers for my bike and I would say 90% of them were black. I went for black with a lot of silver on top, for visibility reasons

Love the light set up - where did you get the bracket from?
