No choice for downhill road bikes?
Mostly I love just leisurely pedaling through the countryside with my wonderful DH.

I like the long distances, but most of all love just tooling around & looking at nature! I see beautiful herons, swamplands full of acres of water lilies, old red barns... just lovely.

I actually like all of it...but I voted for climbing because to me, it's a great challenge, a great accomplishment, and the higher I go, the better the view!

I vote "touring".... I LOVE spending time with my husband, no matter what we're doing..... but, sharing a love for cycling and enjoying it together is THE BEST
! He's my very best friend 
.
As I become a more experienced cyclist, I can see where I might enjoy climbing and long distance riding <<-- provided I can take my time to enjoy the scenery.
Peace & Love to All,
Denise

)
I luuuurve it... I love and like lots of others - and some i haven't yet tried...
but for me, right now, time trials are the bees knees, the cats pyjamas, good nuts, da bomb and overall way cool.... chooooice 
Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".
