Below are a few of the bikes you could identify with:
The Fixie
Voted the Cyclist Most Like to be a Hipster. You don’t just blog about indie bike culture. You created it.
The Tall Bike
One part granola, two parts drama major, you’re happiest when high above street fairs, Burning Man and other centers of anarchy.
The Cruiser
You’re on the road to nowhere (or maybe the beach) and you like it that way. Don’t forget cash for the ice cream truck.
The Road Bike
Precise and focused, some have accused you of OCD. Never mind. Your beautiful road machine will always love you.
The Mountain Bike
Thrill-seeker. Obstacle-jumper. Not content to pound the pavement, you need a bike that loves a dirt bath as much as you do.
The Commuter
Upright citizen, you need an earnest bike to help you save the world–and your sanity–one pedal stroke at a time.
The Cyclocross
Top priority: fun. Followed closely by beer, camaraderie, and a crazy, on-again, off-again bike race. Followed closely by beer.
