When riding for pleasure which bike type do you use the most?

[presta]

I have one bike that does everything, a good quality touring cycle. Every ride is also a pleasure.

Likewise, I ride a touring bike. It's the only one I have, excepting an old racing bike that's been rusting away in the garage unridden since I bought the tourer.

I ride my Surly Long Haul Trucker which doesn't really fit any of the categories in the poll - so haven't voted. How about adding "tourer"

Recumbent? Trike? Recumbent Trike? Why no touring bike? Tandem? Tandem trike? Recumbent tandem trike? A bit short of categories. Other posters might come out with more. Usually use a LWB recumbent bike for leisure rides myself.

You mean something like
this?

Depends what kind of riding I want to do really... The bike that gets used the most this the hybrid, but only cos it's nearest the door and probably the most practical. I'm not a "head down, arse up" kind of cyclist - I'm more of a casual bimbler.

Up till a few months ago my bike of choice was my tourer, however I bought a road bike which seems to be getting more and more use as time goes by.

I was confused at the question. If you are not riding for pleasure. Why are you riding at all? 😁

My Cervelo C3 for summer and Kinesis ATRV3 for gravel/winter. Both road bikes I suppose.

Medals?
Imagined medals?

There could be a bit of confusion in the categories . A lot of the classic road bikes which were called racers were listed as tourers by the manufacturer's. The fact that they had drop handlebars and gears made them seem like racers to the general public. I can appreciate all the different riding positions drops can give you now that I'm much older as opposed to flat bars .
I used to have a mountain bike but have gone back to the old classic steel racing style bikes as they are lighter . I find that the shiny chrome and ally parts on a sunny day lift my spirits .
I am trying a modern style road bike for a comparison at the moment but have already found a problem ! Non standardisation of parts !

Really surprised!🤣🤣🤣

I voted electric, cos that's all I have got now, having sold my MTB last year.
If I were ever to get another human powered bike, it would surely be a fat bike, so I could go down to the local beach at low tide and play .....

I have three bikes and a recumbent trike a Van Nicolas Amazon with Jones type bars, Moulton, Bike Friday and an ICE Adventure it all depends on my mood at the time which one I ride always with pleasure. If I had to god forbid just choose to keep just one it would be the trike.

Flat-bar road bike. Don't like drops.

A tourer is a road bike, isn't it? I was gonna put road but I mostly ride a CdF which you could call a tourer, although I don't tour on it. It's also marketed as a go anywhere gravel bike, it came with 35mm CX tyres but road bike gearing. When I was a kid I used to tour on what you'd call a mountain bike, and the Grand Tours are ridden on racing bikes.

Imma put 'road'.
