This - it's my second fixed...the first one died after 4 years.
14 miles on a Genesis Croix De Fer
Roadrat with Hope Minis and carbon forks. Fun and fast 🙂
80's Raleigh 531 with 105 10 speed and rumbly cheap wheels. A bit of a ute but it's comfy. 22 miles a day. It used to be fixed but now I live in Sheff and end my day on too big a climb for that.
Kinesis road bike or Cotic Roadrat (fixed)
currently building a cheaper looking no-brand fixed wheel bike for the winter
presently on a horrible kalkhoff pro connect disc electric assist bike.
when well on a surly lht or a swift if i decide to do it offroad.
the seat of my BMW 3 series
Why, did you not study hard enough at school/work hard enough in your job to be able to afford to drive at least a 5 series? 🙁
33 mile round trip on a Lemond Croix de Fer.

oh, I know, I tried as hard as I could, but I'm just not smart enough 🙁
SS Inbred 29er. Speed not an issue as its riding to school with the kids, then on to work. Its only a few miles though. I have an old Cougar road bike, full gaurds etc that is ideal but prefer the Inbred.
A bus. Normally sitting, sometimes standing.
34 mile round trip on a Cotic roadrat, running single speed. Though currently thinking about adding a [i]*koff* road bike *koff*[/i] to the stable, possibly a Genesis Equilibrium.
14 mile round trip on a Kona Big Unit singlespeed.
For the distance covered, it's not worth getting a more road orientated ride.
Er.. A 575 with 150 revs and m4s.. 24 miles in total a day.
But tbh that's only a few times a month. It's usually my (ford) focus that gets me too and fro..
Not that keen on a 12 mile mostly uphill ride home after a 12 hour nightshift!!
[i]oh, I know, I tried as hard as I could, but I'm just not smart enough [/i]
Indeed. Moving from a 3 series to a 5 series is not about smarts. What do the IT staff drive? They're smarter than you and yet they drive french cars and vauxhalls.
No, the step from 3 to 5 series involves nothing to do with intelligence. You know when you look at people and feel a certain empathy, a link as you were to something of the same species? Stop doing that. They're prey. Or fodder. Either way, the sooner you stop looking at all those other troublesome bags of meat as something important the sooner you will get behind the wheel of a BMW with a number 5 on the back.
Good luck!
****ster, 26 miles a day. Makes the good bike seem even better at the weekend.

y'know, I really aren't smart enough, 'cos I read that 3 times and still don't understand it 😀
I bought this when I was about 13 or 14 with paper-round money, still doing the business 20 years later. Not got that many original parts though.

see. I can't even cut and paste right....they're gonna take my car away soon !
Mainly the M6 these days.
But when I do ride in, it's on a geared Giant SCR road bike. 50 mile round trip.
Thinking about going Samuri / SDB style and MTFUing up and riding it fixed. That ought to toughen me up..!
spend your working life in A&E, and riding something like this into work everyday!the sooner you stop looking at all those other troublesome bags of meat as something important the sooner you will
[img]
[/img]Must try harder 😀
At the moment its on a 94 Stumpjumper running 1x7 gears and slicks
One of these:

No showers at work unfortunately, and you definitely need a shower after cycling in Singapore!
20mile round trip on a SS Kona Bandwagon but about to change to a Charge Duster 8 with some nice snow tyres for the winter.
1993 Performance R203. Hopefully soon to be re-sprayed and generally tarted up.
Depends.
This week, it's been an Airbus A380, a Boeing 737-800, a 777 and a 747.
And then a selection of taxis. (Ben, hop in a Chrysler, barter them down! My last airport shuttle from Tanjong Pagar to Changi was $10. Bargain! 🙂 )
Normally, it's a 1980s Raleigh Cameo.
Yup, an intercity 125 here.
17 miles on this

Either 27 or 29 miles on a Boardman hybrid the smooth way or a voodoo 29er with carbon fork and huge knobbly tyres the rough way. Some semi slicks in the post for the voodoo, hurry up postie.

You'll need to do a lot of it offroad fixed if you're going to be as tough as me. 😉

Another Pompino here.. at least 4 times a week approx 100 miles in total on average.
If it snows i'll be on my inbred.
Genesis IOID for me - covered in sticky tape and flith, plastered with reflective tape and lights, flat bars with bar ends 1.5 slicks and hope mini brakes - looks shite rides lovely
got any of that tape left TJ?
25 mile round trip on either my Giant xtc 1 converted to ss or my 29er scandal.
I prefer the scandal.
