What car is your bike?

[Owlie]

Ooh, fun question!

Perhaps my SuperSix would be a lot like my Mazda 3...fun to drive (pedal), lightweight, not high end, but not stripped-down and cheap, either. Can go fast...but not so great in snow or during crappy weather (thankfully my 3 can actually take snow tires--the stock tires are wretched in snow). Not as sporty as better-equipped versions of the same bike, either.

My CX bike would be more like an SUV, I think (though I am not a fan of SUVs, on principle). Or perhaps a Subaru or Volvo wagon with AWD/4WD...relatively efficient, but not as much so as my dedicated road bike. But it can go places my road bike can't go.

The mtn. bike I'm getting is more like a Jeep Wrangler. Truly made to go off-road and not as ideal for pavement. Less efficient, heavier, rough tires...

Oh?

I have no idea. I've only ever driven one car (mine!), so I have no real point of comparison.
