I got into triathlons a handful of years back so I had a road bike that I put many many miles on. Lots of 50+ miles rides while I was training for the Ironman. I also did a week long bike ride in Oregon called Cycle Oregon that was amazing. 60-80 each day, with rides along the coast, up 7 miles then down 8 to the Rogue River, and food/drinks at the end of each day.
I also love commuting by bike in town. And Portland, OR is perfect for cyclists and drivers are super (if not too) respectful of folks on bikes.
I bought a new Diamondback road bike a few months ago that I really like. Unfortunately, I am going to have knee surgery in a couple weeks so I won't be on that for a while. But I do hope to get back into biking since running won't be an option for a long time.

Road bike here. I used to mountain bike but stopped when I moved away from the mountains. I'm back now and should pick it back up, mtbs are so expensive these days though!

I ride a little bit, not as much as I used too, I just don't have as much free time anymore. I would ride trails or just leisure rides up in the city late late at night or early in the morning when pedestrian traffic dies down. I loved riding up to the top floor of parking ramps/garage and racing back down. Was fun to just watch over the city from the very top floor of the parking garage. Pretty stupid and dangerous, but I would get a rush racing back down the parking ramp not knowing if there was a car coming around the blind corners.

I used to ride daily for years and years. I loved it.
Now I golf.
