I've got a blue Diamondback Sorrento. It's a mountain bike, and an excellent one at that.

Pray tell, why do you want to know about the kinds of bikes we own? Just curiosity, or some other reason?

I've got some generic dual-suspension bike from canadian tire. Never ride it. Too hilly to ride here. I'd rather be at home playing videogames.

I used to ride an old blue Schwinn Le Tour that was older than I was (literally) but still looked OK and worked well. Now I have a relatively new red Schwinn mountain bike with an aluminum frame. I put a big gel seat on the thing too.

I don't ride as much as used to, but two summers or so ago, I went 44 miles one day. I couldn't even look at my bike for a week, I was so sore!

I've got a mid-60s model schwinn...it's blue...and it's the best bike I've ever had! I'll post a pic later. Farthest I've done is about 80 miles in one day. Needless to say, I don't really wanna push it that far ever again :lol:

i have the same one. it was my mom's.

but my main bicycle is a trek 1000 blue road bike that looks very very similar to this:
http://shop.devercycles.co.uk/images/prod_1970.jpg
it's frame is carbon fiber and very light.

my family's bicycle inventory also has a black tandem, a blue bike with a motor on it (lol it's hilarious), a full size adult tricycle with basket (also hilarious), a purple mountain bike, a few racing bikes of my mom's, and my dad's green trek. we also have two burleys.

anyone here ever do RAGBRAI? i love cross-country biking.

Redline D440 29er.

I just replaced the rack with a Toepeak 75kg model as the one pictured above broke (ie cheap aluminum). I also removed the fenders cause they where more annoying then useful.
