I suspect if you work back, you'll find other posts by other members on the same topic.

If by "other members" you mean "you", then yes, I did see those. But I was hoping to hear from some other voices. I know what people in New Orleans ride, but I am curious about what other people in other cities are hopping on these days.

Clyde, my first bike (as an adult), is a Globe Specialized "Carmel"--kind of a hybrid with mountain-bike suspension and city-bike handlebars, with a "comfort" configuration kind of like a forward-tilted recumbent pedaling position. Clyde was a great starting point for a middle-aged person returning to cycling after 40 years, but I'm ready to sell him and move on.



Eleanor O, my second bike, is a Dutch Workcycles Omafiets. I ride her every day and I love her to bits. Everything about her is solid and well-made and high-quality and convenient, perfect for my all-urban, bike-only lifestyle.



My third bike--which is still in the imagination phase, will be a Brompton. I see them more and more around town, and I really would like a lightweight folder for travel and mini-touring.

Easy, I wasn't criticising, I just had a feeling (wrongly, apparently) a lot of people had posted something like that already.
