I have a a few bikes, more into the mountain side of it but I'd like to get a nice road bike soon.
09 Iron Horse MKIII
99 schwinn homegrown custom I converted to a singlespeed:
and then my old Peugeot fixie conversion for riding around campus/town
and if you've never been to bike party you can't really talk shit about it. I've been once or twice and had a lot of fun. Its basically the same environment you'd expect at a concert at shoreline i.e. drinking, partying, smoking (of various things if you so choose) and of course lots of hot girls ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
oh yea, and if you're budget is tight for a road bike just keep searching craigslist. I've seen some smoking deals on some nice road bikes on there. I would advise staying away from the "walmart" type bike brands as they only make crap which will most likely fall apart on you after your first long ride.

I love riding, but some of those fucknuts in that party decided to play chicken with me one night while I was in my old truck. Mind you, this was at 9:00 in the evening and they had no lights on them. If you go, please ride safe.

My old bikes that were destroyed or otherwise totaled!
My current fleet. The bike on top is a P3 Carbon with all the bells and whistles. the bike on the bottom was sate of the art in 2008! Full Sram red drivetrain, K force crank set along with Cervelo's best road frame; the Soloist super light. I have 8 grand in the P3 and just under 7 grand in the soloist.
I can't afford a Ferrari F1 race car, but I can afford the same exact stuff that the pros race in the tour de France.

i wouldnt spend too much money on a road bike unless you;re pretty serious about riding. last thing ud want to do is drop 1k+ on a bike that is barely used. to lose weight running goes a long way and doesnt cost u anything.

Nice bikes cobraracer.
I ride a CF Trek Madone - really like everything about it, and a Specialized Stumpjumper hardtail on the trails. If you're just starting to ride, I'd recommend looking at something used, maybe something in the ~$500 price range. Basically, something you can ride around for a while and find out if cycling is something you're really interested in for the long-run.

Rookie,
I feel you. I started biking in 08 when the gas prices went up. I bought one for about 400 bucks at the time. It was one of my best investments for a healthy future. This year I plan to get more involved in biking with doing a few triathlons and hopefully an Ironman, so I'm going to need to upgrade mines. If I do, I'll be sure to hit up. If you haven't purchased one yet, I'll sell you mines for around $100 bucks.

I ride a cannondale prophet 800. Spent about 1800 3 years ago for the bike. I wanted something that I wouldnt have to or want to upgrade for a long time.
Look into the "muddy buddy" race, they have it in san jose around May up at joseph d grant park up mount hamilton. Its a hella fun teamed ride and run race in the hills, and free beer after the race. ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif)
