Uh. I usually ride a mountain bike, but recently I've been riding a tiny little shitty racer.
I got it as a loan from a friend. It is terrifying to ride that thing.
I can feel every jostle in my soul.
Tip: Never put your full weight down on the seat while riding a racer, you will pop a tire. The best position to ride from is where you skim the seat but have all your weight on the pedals, the bike can then move independently of you.
I do that anyway. I can't sit in that seat, someone thought it would be a special idea to postion the handlebars BELOW it.
Every time I go out on that bike I feel like I am presenting myself to the trucker behind me.

I love the bent down bars, they reduce wind resistance a ton. It is something you get used to. Also, ride enough and you will not mind presenting a bit, neither will the ladies. (a good reason to get involved with a group ride besides great cardio)

... Hi, we obviously haven't met.
I'm Monkfish, though my friends call me Tilly. I'm of indeterminable age, ornery as fuck, and so asexual it hurts feels good man.
Presenting is not a thing I want to do. Under any circumstances.

That bike sees no use unless I need to pop down to the local shop for cigarettes. Cardio and self-improvement are of no interest to me.
'Sides, thing is fucking useless on these awful backcountry roads. Wheels are thinner than my god damn fingerbone.

I need a new bike.

Well, I suggest a heavy mountain bike then. You can find "Easy riders" or touring bikes that have tri-suspension systems and large tires to improve comfort. I would use one but I am not happy with any speed less than 30 km/h.
Triple suspension means independent rear (soft tail), front shocks, and a shock absorber on the seat post.
They are wonderful for leisure and tour riding. If you have money there are models with automatic gear shifts.

I don't bike. I like to walk down the avenue. Bust a move with Disco Stu. Yes I love to perambulate, it's standing still I really hate, so let me please reiterate: I love to walk!

Mountain bike, mostly because I used to go mountain biking.

My trusty Trek 1000 has never served me wrong, throughout the duration of my bicycling adventures.
