My next bike is going to be...

[lo123]

far as a type of bike.
single speed-- not a poser trying to look like a hip fixie rider on a freewheel

Agreed. I about died when a friend asked when I was converting my new bike (Trek Madone 5.2 WSD) to single speed or fixie. meh. hipsters.

My next bike will be either

a. a better fitting Cyclocross bike. Current one is too big. Maybe a Valkyrie?
b. Recumbent - would like to have that as an option to ride when my back acts up.
