Well, if you are really talking daily rider, then probably either my Roubaix or my Salsa Vaya commuter. I ride them probably 5-6 days a week

If you're talking the vintage bike that will get the most miles, then my Typhoon I just built will be the one. I built it specifically to ride.

The bike I ride most is my 1957 Hornet. It's hard to believe but I am still riding this thing in the middle of winter in New England!

Hate to say it, but I don't have a cruiser as a daily ride anymore... my OCC chopper got stolen.

My current (and only) whip: custom Surly LHT. Seen here with 2.1" knobbies for trekking, usually has 26x1.25's for road riding.

I saw someone do a 'gender bender' on the girls version of this bike and modify the chainguard decal to say, SATAN CRUZ, pretty funny... :lol: :lol:

I don't have a bike that is 100% right now, but stay tuned..

I've been riding my 82 Schwinn Team 24 cruiser lately when we go riding together on our bike path. :D

Normal commuting. Yes it is like day time in front of me! lol Usually keep my little trailer attached and take this to the grocery store etc.

Image


For cruising around. I take this one to car shows and what not. Frame is now sans any flames, all satin black.

Image


My chick frame. I've been using this when there is a possibility of slick roads (Saves the frank n beans when slippage occurs) Also ride this one to the bus stop to pick up my daughter from the bus, it's low enough for me to coast along with her. This bike also has sentimental value to me. It belonged to a school mate of mine that passed away, her sister asked me if I wanted it when they had to move since she knew I messed around with bikes, also my 6 year old daughter helped me clean it up and get it back on the road. Still some work needs to be done, but it works. Think I'll always keep this one.

Bike, you will like it.

Dude, Super Sweet Road Bike! What kind of saddle is that?
Not daily driver but in the good riding months, I go 3-4 times a week. Great work-out bike, can't gear down for hills :lol:

Daily??? Man, I have 8 I ride equally. Daily?? I guess my Phat Chopper. IT has gears. My Trek 730 has gears,but I dont submit it to salt ...The Phat can be repainted, and its COOL!!!The other bikes I really dont take out that often,as salt and mud I dont want them to see...And notice the seat stem, it hasnt warped or snapped or broke in about 100 miles. Weld things right,and they last....Jut saying....
Image
and This Monark Silver King is ridden alot. Has an altered seat stem and seat is different. Im gonna add a set of apes.. I love this bike, but would trrade it for something different...

Depends on the day. If I'm solo it's the Fuji... if I have company, its the Twinn.
