And the song is totally unrelated to this bike poll! Bicycle, that is. Not motorbike.

Question 3 does not include my answer, as it was in the 1990s that I last rode a bike.
Question 6 is not detailed enough by saying country/area. My city does have adequate biking trails along the roads in most places, but not in my immediate neighborhood.

Apologies for the lacking answers, but I already had six questions, I figured that if I added too many options, the darn thing would be too HUEG.
I guess that we can say "area" counts as "city and environs." |

I have not been on a bike in a very long time. I do not even have one.

Too bad you live in Canada Mack, you could have my exercise bike LOL. It's great but my right knee says it's not so great [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] So are you still doing the gym thing eh? I'm up to 100 sit-ups a day now Oh, and if you haven't before, check out those resistance cords they have out now (found bunches at Sports Authority). It's like having a gym in your house without the equipment! I really love them and have found many dormant muscles LOL.

I have to admit, so far the replies to the poll are surprising me, considering that most of the members here seem to be American, I would have guessed fewer people who had bikes. I was under the impression that riding bicycles and such was less prevalent in the US.
Both due to worse infrastructure for it(From what I hear), and because cars seem so loved over there. Am I mistaken, or do we just have a rare subset of Americans posting here? |

I would like to have a bike in the house. Would be nice on the days where I have no more than a hour to myself.

The Netherlands is nirvana for bycicles. Our country is small and flat, so everyone owns a bike. Just don't bring it to Amsterdam.

By preferred method of transport I understood that question as "which would I prefer"...so flight via superpowers would be my no.1 choice

I've got a Giant Farrago, a hybrid mountain-racer which I loosely term 'my silver machine' (yes, the Hawkwind song) [img]tongue.gif[/img] .
It cost me more than my mates first cheapo bomb cars from back in uni and is an absolute joy to ride. I don't own a car, so having a decent bike in great working order is a priority for transportation. Whilst I'll take the bus or Public Transport where I have to, my bike is a well loved bundle of mechanics that I couldn't live without. It responds intuitively to my every pedal and softens the most jarring of bumps. Don't take me for a fitness maniac however - I still huff and puff up hills slowly like everyone else.
