What Bike(s) do you own?

[bluebug32]

'09 Cannondale Synapse Hi Mod Feminine Red
'07 Kona Jake the Snake (for sale...by the way )
'05 Kona King Kikapu
'05 Kona Cinder Cone

I'm getting married this summer, so not sure how lofty my biking goals will be. Started to train with a group and coach this year, so hoping to get faster and be able to put in more time/miles.

'09 Cannondale Quick 4 - Hybrid
'10 Felt ZW100 - 1st road bike (craigslist)
'10 Orbea Diva

Main bike until today has been the Felt. I ride about 70-100 miles a week (in better weather at least!). I've only been riding 6 months and am lovin' it!!

[SLash]

My most recent purchase is a 2010 Jamis Aurora Elite. (Just named her Bella, 'cause she's beautiful and thinks she's Italian - I wish she had Campy)

I've only ridden her once but from that first ride I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't become my bike of choice. Steel is real as they say.

2005 Scott CR1 Pro (full carbon with Campy Centaur), presently my bike of choice. "Rocket"
2006 KHS Urban X which I will be selling - never rode it much "Tank"
1994 Giant Cadex with Shimano Ultegra, my trainer bike "Ol' Blue"


My mileage goal for this year is at least 2000. We have two tours planned so that should help get the miles. Goal last year was 2000 and only did 1504. If the weather cooperates (and no accidents/injuries - knock wood) should be able to get the 2000 no problem.

2005 Terry Titanium Isis
2004 Terry Classic
1994 (ish) Specialized Rockhopper MTB

I enjoy riding my Isis the best and in the summer, it definitely gets the most use. My Classic is set up as my winter bike and my commuter (rack, fenders, lights, etc), so it's been ridden the most lately.

My goals for 2010:
Complete my first tri (May) and possibly a couple more of them later in the summer
Commute at least once a week starting next week (my commute is 20 miles each way, so this is no small task)
Complete the Crater Lake Century in August

[crazycanuck]

Roadie time's done on a 2005 Giant OCR 1
My university commute bike's a Giant OCR 3
Dirt time's done on 2006 Scott Scale 40

Anddddddd....weeeeharrrooooooo

Soon to be in our stable within the next 6 weeks is......A 2010 Titus Racer X XS frame w fork (transferring my other components over) Order's being put in on Monday & just have to wait

In terms of bike goals for 2010-Mainly mountain biking of course! All of our club XC series, 1 4hr, 1 6hr, another 100km enduro & a 12hr.

[pinkbikes]

1984 Repco Nishiki Olympic 12 (my first road bike that sits on the trainer)
2008 Shogun Ninja (current roadbike)
2008 Kona Lisa HT (first serious MTB - now on slicks with rack and panniers/bag for shopping bike duties)
2009 Specialized Era Marathon (dual suspension MTB and most expensive bike I ever bought)
2009 Holstar Roadster (tandem so DD can join us on long rides and touring)
2010 Scott Speedster S20 FB (new flat bar roadie arrived this week and already done about 100km and had its first flat tyre!)

It sort of depends what we're doing at the time which one gets ridden most. I just love the Spesh and going bush but it gets the least use at the moment because it has been beastly wet. But every time I ride it and that SRAM X-0 just keeps on changing regardless of the mud I just love it and don't care how much it cost.

When I'm training for a tri it is nearly always the Ninja that gets all the riding and I do have a sneaking love for roadies that means that it is probably my favourite despite being a relatively modest bike in name terms.

But I can already see that Scottie is going to be the "new black" for me. Almost as quick as the roadie, nicer to ride to work than the Kona.... I can see a lot of miles mounting up on that puppy!

Mileage a week - really varies. Anything from nothing to a couple of hundred km when in training for something - or 500km if I'm on a tour (not often). Not enough km lately is all I know!

Goals...
Fully regain fitness after my fall off the roadbike back in October.
Climb Mt Coot-tha without stopping to pick my lungs up off the pavement.
Race a DRY MTB race (it always rains when I race).
A PB in the Noosa Triathlon for 40km.
Cycle Queensland Tour in September.
Metric century Brisbane to the Gold Coast in October.

What a fun thread

!995 Trek 8700 hardtail
2000 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR
2009 KHS Alite 2000
2009 KHS XC604

Cannondale BlacklIghtning with Campy Record
Cannondale 2000 frame (CAD7) with Campy Chorus
Cannondale 911 frame (CAD5) built up with Campy Chorus(trainer bike, bad weather bike)
Custom Ti frame built up with Campy Record w/Campy wheels(builder of frame no longer in business) This is my favorite, and I ride most of the time.
2010 KHS Flite 720 built up with Campy Chorus haven't been able to ride this much as of yet... beautiful bike though, color is lavendar
Soma Double Cross built up with Ultegra 9 speed for touring (still finishing the wheels for this)

Winter mileage(trainer time) 100-125 miles
In season: 125-160 depending on what I'm training for.
Haven't decided whether I'm goiong to race mtn bike(first time) or will concentrate on hillclimbs. Any suggestions? Also want to do some self contained touring.

I have to laugh... this is going to be like the "show us your pets thread"! Ask us about our pets or our bikes and we're in!

'08 Cannondale Synapse Fem 1
'09 Surly Cross Check

I do the most miles on the Cannondale. Love, love, love that bike. My Surly is my run to the post office bike, my winter studded tire bike, my rail-trail/dirt road bike, my touring bike, etc. On the rare occasion that I want to do single track I borrow my son's Trek MTB.

Goals for 2010....
My first goal was to ride outside through the winter which I managed to do, despite the snow! My goal was 1000 miles from January 1-March 31 and I am on track for that. Last Tuesday I did my first metric century of the year and was so happy that I did a metric by the first week of March and it was easy!

During the season, I'll ride 500-800 miles a month, depending on what else is going on in my life. Last year I did 18 metric centuries and 2 centuries. This year I would like to do at least 10 centuries and 20 metric centuries. I want to ride in some new places, maybe do a few high mileage multi-day events, and do a one-day organized ride with my husband and kids.

2005 Trek 5.9 Pilot (for sale soon)

Soon to have in my stable: Luna Eclipse road bike (can't wait) and a Specialized Tricross Comp for my commuter/trail riding.

I ride around 100 miles a week during the spring, summer and fall. I ride mostly charity and social club rides on the weekends. We don't have a bike vacation planned this year like we have in year's past. My goal is always 2,000 miles for the year but I've never reached it, I just come close.

[kermit]

I just upped my stable to three bikes!

2009 Specialized Roubaix pro-everything upgraded from an 05 except the crankset
2009 Trek 4300-new with slicks for around town
2009 Windsor Clockwork-(steel single speed)

I must say that I need to ride more than I am. I am hoping to get ready for a few sprint tri's and the occasional century ride. I love the fact that when I ride I can eat pretty much whatever. I ride about three times a week and my big rides (only 40-50 miles) are on the weekend, usually Saturday.

[Veronica]

2003 Rivendell Rambouillet - bike in the trainer
2006 Rivendell Legolas - gets most of the road miles
2004 Specialized Stumpjumper - not ridden as much as I'd like
2009 Custom Bohemian Tandem - also not ridden nearly enough
2009 Cervelo S3 - just got it, it will be my race bike

Goals - I have two Half Ironmen this year, one in May, one at the end of July.

The first race has a lot of climbing in the bike and I want to just finish. For the one in July, I want to crush my time from last year.

I agree, ridebikeme, super fun. I also know of a few people here whose list would take up the better part of a page!

My stable includes:
1976 Bob Jackson mixte ("Bob')
2003 Trek mtn bike of some sort ("the old mtn bike")
2005 Titus Racer X ("Ouzel")
2007 Gunnar Roadie ("LAZB")
2009 Salsa Casseroll ("Sparky")

These days I don't ride anything at all because I am recovering from surgery. But my cycling goal this year is to be on my bike by the end of July (OK, maybe mid-August), at least commuting to work. It will most likely be Sparky since that's my commuter. (and Sparky has a wider range of gears than LAZB, a little friendlier for a weak rider )!

This is too much fun to read!

I have my Cannondale F5 hardtail for mountain biking (which I never do), I run it around town on slicks most of the time

+ Giant Transcend commuter (the workhorse - school, groceries and errands); I really kinda love this bike, we go everywhere together

+ Bianchi Emola, steel frame road bike (snappy and loads of fun)

+ Lemond Versailles, carbon road bike (just plain fast)

I'd honestly have to say I ride the commuter the most, about 3-4 days per week. I ride my road bikes more on the weekend when the BF can go with me and we usually ride anywhere from 25 - 70 miles depending on the weather. I have 'attempted' to go mountain biking with the BF on my F5 once and almost went into cardiac arrest it scared me so bad.

[redrhodie]

1985 Eddy Merckx steel road bike
2002 Eddy Merckx Fuga alu/carbon road bike

I ride the steel bike in winter or wet weather, and the Fuga in nicer conditions (it stays warm and dry on the trainer all winter--the baby). Most rides are between 20 and 40 miles. I ride more in summer than winter because I don't ride in the dark or on ice. From November to March, I ride around 50-75 per week (not including trainer miles), and in DST, around 100. I really feel it when I ride more than 100 miles a week. I start feeling worn out and tired. I estimate that I rode 4200 last year, which is the top end of what I think is healthy for me to do.

I never know what I'm going to do when I head out on the bike. I decide as I'm going by conditions and how I'm feeling. I keep it very routine. Every week, some rides will be fast, some easy, and one will be hilly. Other than that, I tend to be my own worst enemy when I set goals, so I don't set them.

I am lucky to have found a sport that I love, that is never hard to convince myself to do. When it's windy and cold, and part of me would rather stay inside, I remind myself I've never regretted going for a ride, and off I go.

[Crankin]

I have:
2007/8 Kuota Kebel with Ultegra, and the R700 brifters. Not sure of the year because the original Kuota the shop sold me in 2006 was too big. In September 2008 they exchanged the frame for the Kebel and I added the short reach brifters.
2008 Jamis Coda Femme
2005 Norco full suspension mtb

I ride the Kuota the most, rides of anywhere between 15 and 60 miles usually. The Coda is my around town, errand bike, but I have done a 50 mile ride on it, on the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Last year, I rode the Coda about 225 miles and the Kuota about 2,300.
I didn't do any mountain biking last year. I kinda suck at it, but want to keep the bike, for riding some the less technical trails around here. I'd like to ride it at least 5-10 times this year.

I gave up setting mileage goals 2 years ago, and I took myself off of Bike Journal. I rode 3,000 miles in 2006 and since then, I've had a myriad of weird medical things and sports injuries. I seem to get in around 24-2600 miles a year without trying too much. This year, my only goals are:
Finish my tour of Andalusia, Spain without any injuries and without having to take the SAG on the day of the big climb. Enjoy myself, too, instead of trying to rush from one place to the other.

Ride without pain and get my average back to where it was in 2006. Not sure if I can do this, but I will try.

Do more long rides. Last year, I rode a lot, but mostly shorter rides. Do more 50-60 mile rides.

Do the Seacoast century again in September.
