It’s February, and I am ready for Spring to Sprung.... I’ve noticed that there are some cyclists on this forum. Got any pics of your bikes? Post a tricycle, post a stationary bike, or post a pic of your new Trek Emonda!
Part two, why do you love that bike? Is it the first bike you’ve purchased since you got your driver’s license? Did Cannondale make it in your favorite color? Or is it a way for you get healthy and keep up with your kids? (Seems like they pedal faster every Spring, and I don’t see mine putting in any work in the off-season! 😅)

This is my Scott Addict Team Edition (Esteban Chaves). I built this bike just after having heart surgery. This bike has not been ridden the way it deserves just yet. I am hoping that this season might change that.

Diamondback 910UB that my amazing hubby found free on Kijiji for me. It works perfectly except that the heart rate monitor is hit and miss, but I wear a Garmin so that doesn't bother me. It came out of a special needs classroom at the end of the summer. The teacher had it as an outlet for fidgety kids but she had to get rid of it to be able to space the desks out more with covid. Teachers aren't allowed in to set up their classrooms until a few days before the term starts here, so she needed to get rid of it fast and hubby just happened to look at the ads at just the right time.
I need a new seat for it since the one it came with is really built up in the back - even when I'm leaning forward I'm fighting not to slide right off - but it's on there so tight we're not sure we're going to be able to replace it without help. We've tried to loosen it to see if we can just adjust the angle and even with both of us trying together we couldn't get the nuts to budge. But that has to wait until United Cycle allows in-person shopping again regardless. In the meantime I deal, and I love it regardless!

This is one of my favourite bikes, he (Vincent Venge) has taken me from London to Edinburgh and back in 92 hours and seen several victories in solo 24hr races. He's fun and a little bit lairy. I bough Vincent after having my previous bike written off in a hit and run accident. We've shared 8000 miles together and he always makes me smile 😃1

This is Lazarus. My 2014 Specialized Roubaix and main summer ride. Pictured on an approach road to the Surrey Hill AONB which is a real playground for cycling.
Lazarus because it was "killed" and reborn. A driver drove straight through me at a junction and I picked up my bike in two major pieces after we both went over the roof of the car.
Hence the unmatched forks and replacement wheels. It's done 12,700 miles now.
It's currently clean and gleaming while hanging on my garage wall for winter while I use the 2015 Roubaix I got as an insurance settlement - that one has standard wheels, disc brakes and mudguards to make it more suitable for poor conditions.
Fingers crossed events can be run again this year as my two planned closed road centuries last year were cancelled.

@sijomial Nice bike! I do hope we can get back out to some events soon, I'm looking forward to seeing some different views again.
@gje81
Fingers crossed!
I rode more miles than ever last year and nearly all were home-to-home rides with just a few car-to-car rides and I'm getting tired of the same old local roads.2 -
@sijomial - I was hit by a car in 2013, and it broke a custom Serotta in three pieces. Unfortunately it did the same thing to my left leg! I bought a Venge after that insurance settlement. It was a great bike.
Ouch, that must have stung a bit!
Funny enough the driver that nailed me offered me a lift home. I declined with the words "I've just witnessed the standard of your driving, I'd feel a lot safer walking."

Salsa Journeyman in the color copper
I bought in in no small part because I’m a journeyman pipe fitter that works with copper all the time and loves salsa. 😬That and it’s a fabulous road bike that won’t break the bank 🚴🏻4 -
@TakeTheLongWayHome love the colour 😍0

This is my Montague folding mountain bike, supposedly designed for paratroopers. My husband has a slightly different one, mostly because the color is determined by the model, so when I got mine I wanted a different color. Unfortunately, the pretty blue one has a higher stand over height. Once folded, we can fit them in the boat, sail to another town and explore to our hearts' content. We even have a raft for the specific purpose of transporting the bikes to shore when we anchor out.

This is my triathlon bike, a Felt model IA 10. Bike is equipped with Di2 shifter, Ultegra group set and Garmin Vector 3 pedals. I last raced it in 2018, losing 2019 to injury and 2020 to race cancellations. Really looking forward to putting some miles on it this year training for Ironman Chattanooga in September.4 -
@tbilly20 - Yes, IMCHOO is a favorite among our tri club peeps. I'm hoping that I can find a "144.6" window sticker to add to my collection. Will check the Yellow Deli. Lots of room for calories after an IM race!1 -

It looks like those bikes are consummating a marriage! 🙂3 -
Half of these are either destroyed, stolen or sold. Currently the Avanti is my main steed, Focus is commuter and Trek is on the stationary.

Unlucky with the leg, bet that hurt more than a bit! Was very lucky that I'm well covered and bounced after I got hit, wrote off my bike though and I DNF'd 🙄
