Personally I ride a Kona Mountain bike with slicks and front suspension but all bikes are used for the job

personally also, I ride a Klein mountain bike with slicks, and I do ride clipped in. But loads use road bikes and some use track bikes cos' they're reallyyy 'extreme' no brakes etc.
bit too much for me...
