I don't even own a bicycle anymore.

Haven't for a number of years now.

Do have a motorcycle though...

I have a Salsa La Cruz for my commuter/dirt trail bike, a fixed gear track bike for my fun/town bike and a titanium motobecane for my road bike.

I got this Fuji Absolute 3 on clearance and it's pretty decent. I'm looking to get a better bike this year and I'll roll this rig down to my eldest who's wanting to get into triathlon.

I have a "Motobecane" triathlon bike I got from bikesdirect two years back. I still can't believe people will pay so much for bikes when in some cases literally the same bike can be had for nearly half the cost from this outfit. I paid 995 shipped for what amounted to a fuji tri bike eunning around 1650 in stores at the time. Same frame, same parts exactly.

Thanks for the link Skoorb, BikesDirect has some good pricing and free shipping. I can't match that from local bike shops.

A friend of mine bought one of their bikes with full Ultegra. We took the components off it and put it on a CF frame he bought and sold his frame on e-bay for about $200.

Me and the wife Canondale F7 mountain bikes.

My son a 16in Haro - soon to be a 20in Haro.

I hadn't seen Haro's before picking up my sons 16incher. They seem to be well made.
