Any cyclists here?

Did someone say cyclists?

I've thinned my own heard quite a bit lately.

Down to one really. I'll get a photo up later.

I plan on picking up some new toys when the 2012 stuff comes out. Maybe a new road bike, maybe another FS Mountain Bike.

I'd love to pick up a new road bike. Gotta find a job first though. I'd really like to upgrade to a bike with a carbon frame at some point.

No road for me. But MTB, yes. DH, yes. DJ, yes, BMX, yes. My own vintage BMX collector site, yes. Bike nut, yes.

A peak at my BMX lineup:



And a bike I ride often:

Looks like a couple people have some pretty decent sized collections. Someday I hope to as well.

I would, but I always just sell my old stuff.

I'm a hard core cyclist... That doesn't ride often enough haha. And when I do, I combine it with my other hobby, Beer!!! Me and my buddies will ride 20 or more miles to hit up craft beer pubs. I was that kid that got a license and a car, but still rode my bike every where.

I'm nursing a bum ankle now that I twisted last Wednesday. I was out for a maiden voyage on a new to me bike and went down, had to ride home with one foot in first, haha. I'll have to dig up some pictures to share.

way off topic but i see a Hop Devil bottle and a Prima Pils bottle on your shelves. i used to be a brewer at victory brewing. now i am head brewer at southern tier brewing. i dont see any southern tier up there!

He's got plenty of stone though... Damn! I stopped keeping bottles around, got to be too many. I only keep the really special ones now, couple dark lords, some special lambics. Oddly most of the really good S-tier I've had have been on draft. I'll be up in wny at the end of June, I plan on swinging through ebc and southern tier to visit.

I used to mountain bike race, never done any road bike stuff though. No pictures of it though, it's a red Specialized ground control. My cousin turned pro last year and rides for Chemstar-road bike racing. I'm proud of him We were close as kids and now he's all growed up and outshining his oldest cousin!

Road bikes are a whole other world; I used to commute to work on a mountain bike, and when the frame finally cracked after 10+ years of hard use, I went to a road bike. My commute time dropped by about 20% just from switching to a faster bike (hence my [somewhat] joking sig line). I really believe that (on road, at least) MTBs are for slow people. Off-road and downhill use, I have nothing but respect for, but people who ride MTBs on pavement are just straight-up doing it wrong, as I found out when I stopped being one of them.

Heh, I'd like to come prove your sig wrong. Don't get me wrong, I love my road bike, but I love passing roadies on my mountain bike.

Oh, I'm not saying it's impossible to be fast on a mountain bike; I'm just saying that for any given person, it's highly unlikely that they won't be faster on a roadie than an MTB. I've only ever met one person on an MTB that I couldn't just blaze past, and his legs were spinning REALLY fast in that short top gear. I *did* pass him, it just was by like 1 MPH instead of the usual 5+.
