This is the cyclocross bike I have: Specialized TriCross. I got the Sport version so that I could afford all the extra gear and customization that I knew I was going to end up shelling out $$ for. It came with fairly smooth 700x32 tires, but I'm thinking of picking up some that are a bit knobbier so I can switch back and forth depending on where I plan to ride. I'm also considering getting a rack that I can throw on and off to run errands close to home.

I could probably go farther and faster on the road with a true road bike, and I could certainly do gnarlier stuff off-road with a mountain bike, but I love the feeling that I can be spontaneous and go almost anywhere on my TriCross. It's definitely in MomOnBike's category 1.
