It's the time of the year we discuss bikes. Some, like me, are looking for a nice light mtb up to €300, while others have spent more and want the world to know about it.
What is your ride?
Suggestions/testimonials welcome

This is a very specific case, but I bought a folding bike right after having moved in Feb. to the Lower East Side in Manhattan. I work on the East side of midtown and take the bike up the East River bike trail most of the way. I have a bag to put the bike in so I can bring it into the office and not have to worry about it being stolen. Here's the bike. It was real cheap too.

A Bianchi SISS single speed mtb. It is a very quiet ride and one that will train you to keep up your momentum. I love it.
