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

[Sallar55]

No Tandem? The best road,gravel and mtb bike we have toured on. Cannondale mtb tandem

Really?

Yep. Relatively recently. Road/fast bikes were always drops. Seen as serious.

Fast road bikes yes. General road bikes, no. There have always been flat bar road bikes around. The "shopping" type bikes if nothing else - think Granville's bike in Open All Hours.

Entirely agree. However, my flat-bar road bike is a conversion of a "racer" that has no capacity for guards/racks, tyres max 25mm...you get the idea. Definitely NOT a tourer.

I don't find sharing the road with cars pleasurable at all, to the extent that my road bike hasn't been used for a year or two now. I'm only keeping it just incase something crops up as it didn't cost me a deal.

Well wasn't referring to shoppers see bassman's initial post I was responding to.
Mind you have long thought I'd be more interested in toxic British Cycling if they had given Hoy and co shoppers or tourers to race, with a self-made brew half way round.

Road bike for pleasure, Hybrid for commute and other 'practical' rides e.g weekly shop.

Another great bike that’s just a giggle to ride is a Brompton. I was rather stupid selling mine earlier this year, I now really regret it so I’m currently looking for a replacement now the prices have simmered Down.

E-Bikes beating hybrid is a bit of a surprise

 

[Slick]

Why?

Especially given that at least some of the E-bikes would more than likely be hybrids.

Just a shame there is no interest in what types of recumbent are being ridden the most. After all there is far more variety in recumbent design than upright design. But what style are members actually riding?

I once saw a recumbent with a sail ! I didn't twig it at first as I assumed that it was just a sail board and then noticed the wheels !

You sure that wasn’t just a sand yacht!

I thought the one I saw was a 2 wheeler but I might not have noticed as it was a bit of a surprise. How he managed to avoid overhanging trees would have been interesting.

I ride my Salsa Bucksaw full suspension fat bike
