I am curious as to what year your bike was made... or what brand.  or any other interesting info, or what you like about it.  Me: (aprox.) 1985 Peugeot.  My reflectors match my paint job (original), I like that.

Which bike?

Does it have to be one that currently works?

Doug beat me to the obvious reply. I have n+1 bikes. N goes up and down over time (though mostly up).

it could be any bike you own, or all of them... I have four bikes, but only put the one I commute on.  And two of the four have dismantled wheels and fork.

90's Giant Acapulco steel frame MTB named "Steed".

What I like are the fit, the availability of replacement parts, and that it can take the punishment of riding on our less-than-ideal streets.

1969 Schwinn Racer 3speed, all original except the Brooks B68 Saddle.  Commuting 1.5 miles to the Metra on those <-10 days has made it pretty rusty, which worries me, but the thing begs to be ridden.  I'll post a pic soon. 

My winter ride is a 2012 Felt Breed, ss cyclocross bike. Swapped out form the original to cowbell bars and my preferred women's saddle. Changed out the rear so it wouldn't be so "spinny" riding on the streets. Its a fun ride for sure!

'71 Schwinn Suburban, of which I have two. My blue one is for winter and cargo, and my brown one is for a little more speed and comfort.

I have 2 road bikes.
One is no longer mine I gave it to my son.

This is his bicycle;

And this is my new one;
Less than 100 miles on it. Hope to get a lot more once it is warmer ;)

I never thought I would hear the words speed and comfort used to describe a Schwinn Suburban.

Oval wheels? Doesn't that make for an uncomfortable ride?

I'm riding a hybrid MultiTrack Trek with a front basket this winter. It was my mom's bike a long time ago.

Here's a picture of me from 3 or so years ago

1986 Tourmalet!

 

also just bought a '96 Bianchi Trofeo with full campy which I'm in love with. previous owner put on some veloce brifters sometime after purchase--honestly don't know what year.
