One of the reasons I like riding in the event rides so much, either the charity or cycling club event rides, is seeing the variety of bikes that people ride. The charity ride of 81 miles I did on May 21 for the American Lung Association, there were two unicyles and some tall bikes doing the ride, and I was so disappointed that I didn't see any of them. The oddest bike I've seen this year was on a metric last month, a bright red bike with what appeared to my eyes to be truck running boards along each side and painted red to match the bike. I love it when I can spot a recumbent tandem. On the event distance rides, there are always a lot of mountain bikes and hybrid bikes that bike the metric and full centuries. The comfort bikes, because they are heavier, bike the shorter routes. Everyone is fit and having fun and cycling at their own pace. The cyclist's choice of bike is personal and there is no right or wrong.
