It all depends on the terrain you are riding. In Chicago, I really enjoy riding a single speed. I would be pretty unhappy in someplace hilly like Seattle though.
Nice weather outside today, so decided to give the bike a wash and service.
Lookin' good! Lousy weather here, getting the bike ready to be put away now!
I prefer crates than baskets. Here's my Vanmoof. Still going strong, I really love this bike.
Tis the season, here comes the bikes! Hopefully mines out this weekend! 
Wow, you guys give me serious bike envy. As a casual weekend trail rider, though, investing in a high end bike just doesn't make sense for me. Here is my favorite, a 2009 Electra Amsterdam 3-speed. Very smooth ride, and fits me perfectly. Rode the GAP trail with it from Maryland to Pittsburgh. Someday I may upgrade to an 8 speed internal derailleur. I also have a 2003 7 speed Trek cruiser, which I promised my wife I'd unload when I bought this (the garage was getting crowded). Instead, my sons & I put in another shed.
Love the bike! 3 speeds is enough, certainly. I run a 6 speed, and realistically I have 1 I use in the streets, and another on the trails.
I run an 8 speed Shimano internal gear hub system.
With my flat surroundings, I am in gear 4-5 for 95% of my rides.

This is the the newish any road bike. I have a few bikes but I'm mostly on this one these days.
Giant Defy Advanced Pro 0
This is what it looked like new. I have replaced the seat with a Selle Italia Turbo.
I have removed all the logo vinyl and changed the tape to dark blue.

Very nice ride.
Like you, I just can't leave a bike stock. I'm always doing something to leave my mark on it, even if it's just changing the seat. One of these days, I may even order my name from Velo Ink!There is a guy with my last name that hand makes bicycles to your measurements and part specs.Very nice ride.
That's my "one of these days" orders.
Out and about tonight enjoying some new tread and new brake pads:
Walking any big city it is cool to see the different bikes chained up. Enjoying checking out the rides in Toronto this weekend. Many vintage steel frames converted to fixies. Lots of original rides!
I thought for sure I posted in this thread before..... I guess not. I'm getting pretty antsy to ride my bike this year. I didn't do it much last year, but plan to do as much commuting to work on my bike as I can this year. Pics to come!
Ok this probably isn't the right place to post this but you guys seems to know your bikes so here it goes
Found a Cannondale Gimini for sale in my area, He didn't write much of a description but it is a large frame and he's asking $350 OBO
I'm 6'1" weigh about 240 and would be using this as kinda a "do everything" bike
