Do bikes have personalities? We like to think so -- and matched three of our favorites with three distinct types of riders. For good measure, we threw in some boozy bike tours to exercise your quads and slake your thirst. You can't do that in a car.

Three (Bike) Paths Diverge
Everyone you know is riding a bike. As a buyer's guide, we focus on three types of urban cyclists and their preferred gear.

FANTASTIC MR. FOX

THE AESTHETE
Form over function is this design nerd's credo -- at least it has been since he studied abroad in Berlin... and never left. His sleek backpack is probably full of blueprints, or a coffee-table book on minimalist Scandinavian design.

LANCE ARMSTRONG IN TRAINING
This extreme athlete takes biking very seriously. He's not necessarily juicing, but he's drinking plenty of protein shakes and listening to "Eye of the Tiger" on repeat to get pumped for the race of his life.
