I ride only road, locally mainly. I have a Litespeed touring frame with mountain bike components. I could never get use to the drop handle bars so I have mountain handle bars, which makes it a lot more comfortable for me. My husband and I also have a tandem which we love to ride. On the tandem we will usually make it a 30 - 40 mile ride, stopping for lunch, which makes the long ride worth while. On my single, yesterday I did a 40 mile ride, which I haven't done in a long time. I'm an explorer and love to find out where different roads go or head out to new places. I have Candy SL mountain bike pedals, which I love. Another great form just on bikes is check it out.
