I have a road bike, a Giant tcrx. Pretty nice bike, I bought it as a recovery tool after I blew my knee. But it hasn't been used in two years. I scare myself at the speeds I always get up to on smooth roads.
I have a cross country hardtail, a Kona Cinder Cone. A little heavier than I would like, but it gets used the most. Edmonton isn't a great biking town, but there are enough ravines + the river valley to keep me moderately entertained. At least I pedal it around.
And I have a Demo8. Insane downhill bike. My best friend is a fanatic, has some partial sponsorship and regularly gives me his hand-me-down components. He spends most the summer around Fernie, some Alberta Rockies, and out in Whistler. I usually tag along for a week. I still have far too much self-preservation instinct to be decent, but I have fun.
